Get Comfortable or Go Nomad?

I've been home in Vancouver for over a month now and I've spent the last couple weeks wrestling with the big decision: do I go back?

The reason I returned is because my grandmother wasn't well. I wanted to see her and to do what I could for her and the family. You know, helping out around the house, offering emotional support... that kind of thing. I've also declared myself a less cinematic version of "the Transporter" because I'm regularly driving people to and from the hospital or other appointments. More glamourous than "Taxi Driver," anyway. (-:

Things with my grandmother are still uncertain and it's dropped me into an awkward limbo. Not knowing how long you'll be around makes it hard to get into routines. Many of my belongings are still in storage. I haven't returned to drumming. SketchyD is still dormant. I'm still using the minimal "standby" phone plan.

After being in that state for a while I realized that I really need to have my side projects. Out there, traveling was my side project but now there's nothing outside of work and it makes me a little crazy.

So I've decided to get on with life here, assuming that I'll be in Vancouver indefinitely. Maybe someday I'll decide to do the wandering thing again or maybe I'll just travel like a normal person, I don't know. But for now I'm going to get back into those routines and precious side projects.

Since I won't be out exploring new cities for a while, I'm going to drop this blog. I just want to offer a big thanks to all you readers and commenters—it's been fun!
