Gettin' Back to My Cactus Roots--Tucson, AZ - June 5th, 2008

Settling in to Tucson has been a lot harder than I had anticipated it would be.  It has reminded me a whole lot of starting all over for the first time in Pasadena, when I first moved there in 2002.  I guess I didn't think Tucson would be as hard as Pasadena, and I am older and wiser now and all of that. 

But it turns out none of that mattered as much as I thought it would.  I also have a few life changes I've made or am making which makes things a little more difficult.

I have been a little depressed about how much work it has been, but of course it is ultimately worth it.  It also makes me feel like I have gotten lazy.  I feel like I used to work harder and not think about it as much.

I imagine we'll be feeling better around the six month mark, which will be around September.  Until then, we just got to keep our heads down and work hard.

Cheers.
