I didn't sleep last night, which thoroughly pissed me off. But I've had two cups of coffee and I'm feeling really good. Oddly enough, I'm feeling incredibly relieved. And it cracks me up, the reasons why. It's going to be a good day.
Today feels like summer. My parents are opening the pool this weekend. I've been back in Michigan for a few days just to spend some time with my family. Unfortunately both my parents work during the day, and my brother moved to kzoo. So I'm left to my own devices during the day to keep myself entertained which involves a lot of piano playing.
Sometimes it's nice to just be bored. This week has been my mini vacation away from the city. About a week ago it hit me that I haven't spent more than a week staying at home since I was 19. It's been 2 years of running around... constantly changing. And although that's what I crave, for once I actually want to be home.
Having said that, I'm still incredibly homesick for my "home away from home". Half a world away. Sometimes I have weird brain lapses where I'm momentarily transported back there and I have to stop and remind myself which city I'm in. It still feels like only yesterday. I miss the markets, the street performers, and the history. And the FREE museums. I'm such a museum nerd. I could wander those art museums for hours. And I did... at least once a week.
Things will change, as they often do. I'm ready for it.
