I had a lovely chat with my boss today. I told him what happened with the BF and that I think it's time to move back to Phoenix. He said if that's my choice he won't do the modification to my mortgage. He said he'll still modify it if I agree to stay one more year. He thinks I'm being a wuss and trying to run home to mommy and daddy. In a sense yes. They're in their 60's, they've both had cancer, I know they won't be around forever. I will not be a drain on them though. If I have to move back in with them it'll be for a very short time until I get another job.

My boss said if I quit I'm putting the company in a shitty spot with all these unfinished projects, blah blah, I'm the only one who knows the system this well.

He also thinks I should stay because of the housing market.

I don't think he understands Michigan was only ever intended to be temporary for me. I stayed a year longer than planned because of TaoAndCoffee. So he got an extra year out of me as it is. I don't think he realizes that after about a year of living here I figured out I really didn't want to stay. I have some really awesome friends but I just feel out of place, and to be honest I'm sick of the cold and snow. I'm sick of the religious fanatics and the hunters and the rednecks. I'm tired of hardly being able to go out to eat because there is so little vegetarian food.

Isn't it reasonable that I've lost two men I loved, two pets I loved, I have a house I can't afford, and I want to go back to someplace I'm comfortable? I know the area, the type of people there are different than here and more laid back. I miss being able to go to shows when I want because good bands actually come to my city. I also think my chances of meeting Mr. Right are better someplace like Phoenix than a smallish city in Michigan.

Sigh.
