I think it's pretty amazing that you're already looking ahead. Give yourself some real time to grieve the relationship, but kudos for being strong enough to consider your future here.

I was going to suggest staying at your dad's, too. Can you go pack up your stuff and put it in storage somewhere?

I was thinking, too, since you're completely open to relocating, that you could put your resume out there with one of those national headhunter sites, like Monster.com, and see what kinds of response you get. I don't know what your field is, but that could bring you some opportunities that you're not even aware of at this point.

I saw a great piece on Patagonia (the clothing company, not the region in South America) and it looked like a really fun place to work if you're super active and have clothing design/marketing/business/whatever-they-need skills. It's a woman-friendly company and they're a block from the beach, so they all get to go surfing on breaks and such.

Have you ever made a Vision Board? You get a piece of poster board and put words and images of all the things you want in your life. It helps you get focused on what's important to you. You find all kinds of great things, but when it comes to committing it to the Board, you really consider if it's what you truly want for your life.

I wish you lots of love and luck in finding a new place to alight.
