I stand by my last post

So, fundamentally, after $84,000 of therapy I'm talking to my mom on the phone the other day and she intimates that I'm never content.  I'm restless.
I work out six days a week.
I change jobs - on average - every four years.
I've lived in six different places in fifteen years.
In the last month I've slept in four other beds, not including my own.
I've already booked my hotel room for Boston next year.
I'm not sure what that means.  It could be a chemical imbalance.  I often wonder when I discuss things in therapy if they are things that I need to change or if they are what they are and they make up the fundamental structure of who I am and so, by altering them, I would alter my personality.
Now let's throw in the fact that I'm very independent and that I'm beholden to no one and lo, we have a shit storm on our hands.  We have a restless girl with opportunities and resources who refuses to answer to anyone that wants to do what she wants when she wants, and she can't understand why anyone would stand in her way as she careens through life.
I have a four day, 32 hour work week with a pension.  I have a boyfriend who made an amazing spread for me last night with all my favourite foods just because he loves it when I come over.  I have the means and the ability to routinely run 26.2 miles in various cities on the continent.  I have friends that love me and, even when a few weeks go by and we haven't connected because our lives are catastrophic whirlwinds?  They haven't forgotten me even though I always fear that they will. 
I have tons of family that hug and fuss over me.  People that read my blog send me music and hand knit socks!?!  I even have an ex boyfriend (who still talks to me!) who is happy to take me out and about town on a Saturday night (I have another ex boyfriend that I've attempted to be friendly with but it didn't take, namely because I think the "breast feeding" comments I made might not have been just in my head, but that's okay because they're funny and true).
So.
The restlessness.
Maybe there's an app for that.
Or maybe it's time to challenge myself in other way.

Hmm my mom once said that I was "of a nomadic tribe."
I've moved 13 times in 30 years and the last 16 years I've been in the same place. I used to be obsessed with working out, but now I just drink wine and get fat. I worry about the future both mine and the rest of the world. I admire people that decide not to have children, but fear that the ones who do are truly the ones who shouldn't have because they are raising little monsters. I can count the jobs I've had on 3 hands and I've had the last two 30(being a mom)and 14 years. Maybe I should go to therapy.
You are very welcome for the socks, do you need anything else?
