Predicament : New wonderful job that pays well but has me commuting an hour and half each way to get to work. Possible Solution : Move back to SF where all of my friends live to be closer to them, and to work.

I've had a few mothers in my lifetime. My favorite is my birthmother. I know because I was in foster care, and she hit me pretty badly growing up that some of you might get the impression that I had a bad mother, but I didn't. I tend to view outcome rather then process, and when I look at my mothers work I think she did an amazing job. I think just the fact that she raised a child aware enough to put herself and her sister into foster care when things were too crazy is evidence of the amazing mothering skills she had.

I shouldn't be writing this. I should be doing research for my new job. I'm playing it like I did school though and putting it off till the last moment and enjoying the sweet escape of not doing what I should be doing.
