It shouldn't be so terrifying! I've done it three times before! California ---> Connecticut ---> Utah ---> Michigan I should be old hat at this by now, and this move is in the proper westerly direction, so I shouldn't be freaking out. I think it's just such a BIG DEAL in my head I can't help but freak out. Also, I am good at freaking out. I am a freakout pro.
I am glad you know what I mean about California just being home. Things you've said about England in the past make total sense to me. Sometimes you just connect with a place, and you belong there. I feel like a lot of people don't get that - they think I'm nuts to call California home when I've spent less than 10% of my life there.
I think things with my mom will get better. We're both better at in-person relationships, and we've been long distance since Elena was an infant, so now that she's six and we'll be closer, I think we have a really good chance to be friends again. I'm optimistic.
You will have to come visit me in SF. The sushi there is TO DIE FOR.
