What to do

I've had a flurry of activity where I'm wanted...unfortunately not on the personal level...that is still quite barren. Let me splain...

A few weeks ago, no, let's go back a few months. My company was sold and I was concerned about the longevity of my career there, so I updated my resume and my networking sites to make me look good. Then I investigated a couple career opportunities. Nothing came of it and I made it past the major round of cuts. I am still keeping my stuff up to date, as I know at some point, I'll probably leave my place of work. Now to a couple of weeks ago. I receive a phone call from a head hunter who is putting together a proposal for a company based in the Pacific NW. We chat and mostly I help him put together the requirements for the position, outline salary, etc. He thanked me and said he was going to bring his proposal to the company. I figured since my online networking said I was available for such questions, that could be the end of it. No biggie. Then I get contacted from another head hunter about a position in Beantown. I discuss with him. Then, I get contacted for another head hunter for a position in a southern mid-Atlantic state. This one is for a job that i'm over qualified (i.e. I currently make more than they are willing to pay) for. Weird...right? I mean I haven't even updated my networking site since March or April! Now it seems that final interviews are possible for both Beantown and PNW.

I'm so confused. I really have only one tie here and I think she is close to ready for me to go. Boo is almost grown up and I think it's time for her to fly. Of course, neither are really ready for her to leave the nest and i'm sure if I decide to take a job on either coast, she'll feel it is a major slight against her. But, I think (hope) she'd be able to handle it.

My BFF is really too far away to see and hang regularly and BFE moved away a few years ago. There is no other family and really the rest of my friends in this area are barely past the acquaintence state or married men...who really, as good of friends as they are, just really don't count because of the whole wife thing.

So there is just about nothing holding me here. I've talked about leaving for awhile. And, I am pretty sad and lonely. I'm just not sure if leaving = running away.
