Sources close to me have said that it takes a good nine months to adjust after a big move. Nine months is enough time to make an entire human, so I guess it makes sense that rebirthing yourself would take about as long. The gestation period is, however, frustrating. Lots of barf feelings, and none of the magically clear skin/"glow" you hear about.

I had this dream last night that I made friends with a cute bat, and then the bat turned into a person, and the person was mean and terrible. Thanks, subconscious brain. Totally difficult to decipher that.

No easy way out, man.
