Shopping with my mom is always a test of endurance. I usually can't go more than 3 hours.. not to say that I don't appreciate what I get, and the time spent with her, it's just always draining. Oh yeah, went running today at 10:30, it was already 88, and humid like soup. I barely ran about 2 miles, and I was sweating all day afterwards after my shower. I had thankfully gotten unaccustomed to the climate here. It's in the high 50's back in Norman. Dammit.

TiVo'ed the game locally here; I remember now why I don't like watching anything on TV with my parents, they talk, incessantly through it mostly to themselves: "Why did they do that" and "You see, look at him go". It gets very annoying. I need some time out and by myself soon; everytime I come here lately, it's all family, all the time. All my friends have either fallen out of contact or moved away, I have no one here.

Although I started thinking what if my company wanted to grow out here? I could see the Valley needing our services in about 5 years, especially in the financial and medical fields. I wonder if I would be in a place, as a person and professionally, that I could open a branch here and manage it. I've always hated the idea of moving back here, but deep down, I know it's a good place to raise a family and settle down. Nevertheless, I'm not ready, there's more for me to do and see.
