I don't want to move to Boston at all (I could not live with all those Patriots fans--it annoyed me just for the weekend), but my friends who lived there moved from San Fran and were saying how much they miss it and how they'll likely move back to the west coast in a few years. I feel in so many ways that my heart belongs in San Fran. The weather is perfect for me (never too cold or hot) and it's just one of my favorite places ever. It's pretty depressing to think that we just cannot afford to live there. I love Pgh and am happy here, but the weather seems to get worse and worse and it doesn't seem feasible for us to retire here. Someday, maybe, we will move, but unfortunately it will not be to San Fran.

What makes it hard here too is the weather: weeks of high pressure systems that sit over the inland areas like a vast atmosphere-sized hair dryer and leave you feeling like you're trapped in a vast dustbowl for eternity. What's helping me now is finding a job and feeling like my life will get some direction back again. I really hope that a shot of luck like that finds its way to you soon too.Stephenhttp://joyofsandwiches.blogspot.com.aunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8798785837432777875.post-36447656475967759002015-05-30T05:53:58.365-05:002015-05-30T05:53:58.365-05:00It must have been difficult leaving your nephew. R...It must have been difficult leaving your nephew. Rain depresses the hell out of me so I can only imagine how that has just darkened your mood. I totally understand how you're feeling. I think getting uncomfortable in our own lives is a good thing once in a while because it prompts changes even small changes that make life a little better. I hope life brightens soon. In the meantime pester your brother for lots of photos of your adorable nephew. Once you figure out how to snap out of the funk let me know. I was riding the marathon high until my overwhelming job dropped a pile of crap on my plate. All week I have been trying to convince my husband to let me retire at the ripe old age of 41!! <br />Aimee R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04561153129959868616noreply@blogger.com
