And you have us.<br /><br />Love your office chair, btw. It's beautiful.<br /><br />I also need silence to write. I've never understood how other writers can be productive in coffee shops or even listen to music (with or without lyrics).J.H.

Once you settle in and perhaps meet new friends, the loneliness will slip away. In the meantime, keeping close contact with the ones you love in France and NC, will get you through the rough spots. New places are hard and scary and the Mid West is different from where you have lived before.

It's beautiful if nothing else. =) We've moved 17 times since we got married in 2000, but most of those were cluster moves with stints of 3 years stability. I think you really have to give it a year before assessing the fit. It takes that long for me to feel somewhat integrated in my new locations, and I try not to think about it until I hit that Crystal Collierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03912469552483168148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17266281.post-7349561602527311112018-09-06T10:56:54.968-04:002018-09-06T10:56:54.968-04:00I need my space, too.

Suggestion: find a newcomers group. Google [your town name] newcomers. Best thing I did each time I moved. I found sub-groups that enabled me to become part of the community. Oh, check Facebook, too.

I have a desk in my bedroom I rarely use (typing from there now though) but I like it in the living room. When no one else is around. I'm easily distracted, but like being in my own familiar space.
