Why am I finding it so hard to write lately?

I miss my girlfriend.

She won't be back for 9 more days.
I love the way she looks at me.
I hate sleeping alone.

I have a job interview this afternoon.

I have no desire right now to go back to school for the 18 months it will take to get my R.N. It will mean a difference of about $7-$10/hour once I get done and pass the boards, but I just do not have the mental energy for full-time school right now.

I need to travel.

I need to save my money and get that traveling job where I get to travel to a new city every 4 months, work full time for a hospital in each new city for 13 weeks while living in a free, furnished apartment and enjoying what each new city has to offer.

I just need to save up a nest egg to finance that first assignment.

I'd have to pay for my move and most of my expenses during the first assignment (California hopefully), then upon completion of that 13 week contract I'd be reimbersed, collect my bonus and be in good standing to get my next contract.

I want to live/work/get 3 month contracts in:

Southern California (San Diego or L.A.)
Northern California (Bay Area)
Oregon
Seattle
Alaska
Hawaii
Maine
Boston
New York City
Washington D.C.
Atlanta
Miami

I want my sister to get through her divorce and do something that makes her happy.
I want to travel to all these places and then buy her and my niece plane tickets every few months to come see me.

I want my sister to have some much-needed vacations, and my niece to experience the pure joy of travel and seeing new places.

I want to fast forward 9 days and see my girlfriend step off of that plane.

I want to touch her beautiful face and tell her how I've missed her.

Then get sushi, sake and a hotel room.

Yeah.
