Packing to go back to Freiburg*.

I'm always ambivalent about this. I love my family and I miss them when I'm gone, and I worry about not being there for the boys and Beautiful Daughter.

On the other hand my family is finally getting a reasonable income after a long time of me being trained, off sick, and retrained.

I enjoy my work (far more than I expected), and I'm gaining the trust of my colleagues and clients. I'm very much at home in my apartment and the village I live in, and I have lots of nice, flat, beautiful places to explore.

For the time being I'll tell myself I've got the best of both worlds: I'm happy to come here and I'm happy to go back, but it's still a very strange situation to be in...

*Or more accurately, putting off packing for Freiburg by messing about on CC...

More a problem of me assuming that if I know what I mean everyone else should too...

Right now I live and work in the Breisgau region, near Freiburg, in the week, and visit the family in Stuttgart every second weekend. That's about 200km apart, but take longer because the Black Forest is in the way.
