I may have R.R.S.!

The other day I was talking to someone who was saying how people like to stick with the relationships that they've worked hard to establish; they like to stay in places where they are known. I realized that while that sounded true to me, it certainly has not been the story of my life.

I think it's because I've caught a bad case of R.R.S. (regular re-structuring syndrome). Symptoms include constant change of address, switches jobs often, sifting and sorting through belongings frequently, feeling the lure of new relationships/community, being anxious about the inevitable lonely spaces, lots of phone calls to faraway places to keep in touch with the meaningful relationships from past "homes", periods of stability and rootedness with sudden relapses.... In short, you move a lot.

So yep, you guessed it, I've had a relapse. I'm moving next month- to Columbus, Ohio where the handsome suitor lives. I'm going to rent a room from our mutual friends (the matchmakers who got us together) and go job hunting. I do wonder if the handsome suitor will serve as a cure for my chronic R.R.S. Or what if it's contagious and I give it to him?
