So my mother packs up and moves her life to washington a week ago today. I come to spend Christmas with her. I get on a southwest airlines flight with a cold. The plane is going to make three stops before spokane, washington including San Jose, Reno, and Boise. Flying when sick is one of the most horrible things a person can go though. The amount of sinus pressure and inner ear pressure that builds in your head as the plane descends is terrible. I don't recommend traveling while ill. Spokane is an interesting place from what I have seen of it so far. People dress up more than I ever do to go out. I feel out of place. It's sort of a yuppie town, or maybe just the area where my mom lives. Everyone here is strangely nice, almost too nice. I hope my mother does not become one of them.
I had a good time in LA catching up with friends, but not having a car made it difficult to do all the things that I wanted to do including spending time with a few people that I didn't even get to see. I don't know when I will be back. It may be two months from now or it might not be until June. The mentality there is too weird. When I visit and stay longer than a weekend I feel myself being drawn back into the strange world that is LA. I shop and spend massive amounts of money on stupid things, go to hollywood for no reason, and pay $11 to see a movie. It's almost toxic to the type of person I want to become. Anyways, those were my thoughts. Goodnight, it's been a long day.
