Adventure Part Dos

After nearly a two month stint in Minneapolis, enjoying all the lovely weather and trecherous roads that MN has to offer, I'm on my way back to Mexico.  I have to admit cashiering at the good old B'Smith is hardly my dream job but it'll do in times of desperation (and by desperation I mean arriving home with less than $50 in my bank account!). 
It has been wonderful spending time with my family and friends and I must admit this time feels a little different.  Knowing that I was going back, I never quite established a routine or really anything resembling a "life" here.  I have sort of just been living to go back.  But now that it is time to back, I'm kind of anxious.  Nervous, excited anxious but anxious all the same.  This time, I have to prove myself to all those who have put up with me saying "I've just been travelling for the last 5 months of my life".  I really can't complain, and those have been the best 5 months of my life to date, but now I have to buckle down, get a job and make something of myself. 
I'm tempted to take my tax return, birthday money, and cash that I saved up from 'Smithing and travel the western coast of South America.  There is no better time when you have people to visit!  The lure of shotty buses, cheap street food, and carrying everything you own in a small backpack actually sounds pretty inviting! 
So, for now I'm gonna go back with some tentative plans that include finding a job and getting an apartment but also leave my options open.  I'm young, divorced, with a little money in my pocket and it is my time to decide what I want to do with those options. 
As I once again set out on yet another chapter I'm going to make myself one promise:  Be true to myself!

Adios...Besos...Nos vemos pronto!
