My reasoning.......

I titled my blog, "Is this the PLACE to be", because I just moved to Arizona via Vermont in a Jeep Grand Cherokee. Left Vermont in March on an Interstate Compact plan in hopes for a warmer climate and better, more comfortable life away from my past demons. I obviously got here at the WRONG time....the summer here was practically unbareable at best. Temperatures in the 100's and not less than 104 everyday. Too hot to go for a ride in the car without the comforts of air conditioning which we unfortunately do not have. WHAT THE F#@% HAPPENED TO THE AIR CONDITIONER?? So...that's how my life always goes.

Ok, so now I am living in the land of the Native Americans, and the place where the cowboys and Indians used to play. That is pretty interesting and something I would like to explore someday. Cacti the size of some large buildings I've seen in Rutland,VT. whoo hooo!
To make a long story short, it sux. Big time. There are tons of SCORPIONS where we were living...in the house, crawling on the couch, learking in the carpet and who knows where else. And you can't even see the damned things until they are right on you.
I begin to get homesick, the heat is making me feel like I weigh a thousand pounds and I can barely get the energy to move......this is so not me. I am always on the go, cleaning is my thing, and exploring new places is what I have always loved to do. Not any more. I feel ill, all the time.
What is wrong with me? There's a gorgeous swimming pool just down the street and I don't feel well enough t o even go for a swim. Had this been anywhere else, I would be living and sleeping at the pool. This feeling of illness goes on now for 4 months. I hate this and I know I have made a huge mistake coming here. I have to get back to Vermont. So I put in for a transfer with the Interstate compact to move back to Vermont. Immediately, I realize that I really don't want to go back there in the middle of the winter coming up in just a month or two. What do I do now? I REALLY don't want to go.......(typical isn't it?) A woman never makes up here mind and reserves the right to change it at any given moment.
So.....here I will stay...for the winter at least.
My P.O. is going to kill me.
Besides, I have a new grand daughter on the way in just another week, what was I thinking? I haven't even seen Lake Havesu yet, (party central!) or Sadona, Arizona, which I hear is absolutely the place to see in the United States. I can't leave here yet.
Hence, I begin with the title....."Is this the PLACE to be?"
So with that I will leave it for now and continue with more boring unexcitement in the day of the life of Tammy Davis.
