Somnolent composition

Perhaps insomnilent is a better word... It occurred to me as I was going to bed that exercise is historically a bad thing for me to do before trying to go to sleep. The movement and exertion tends to bring on a bit of a boost in energy that's hard to shake. This, and a fairly large dinner have combined to prevent my rest. No matter, I've got access to coffee at work.

I lay awake for a while considering how surprising it is that I miss Atlanta the way I do- that is to say, less than I expected. Sure, there's Henri, and naturally I miss him. Relative proximity to Jacksonville and my friends from there would also be nice to still have... And places like Murphy's and Hop City... Or Yoforia. Still, Idaho is treating us well. We have a coffee shop, and snowboards. I'm getting checked out to rent a plane up here, and Audrey's angling for a horse-related job. Even Miskit and Midna are noticeably happy with the place, likely due to the fact that they have room to run around and can actually put power down on the carpet instead of skittering around on hardwood. I feel like my motorcycle will be completed up here, and my airplane may well call Sandpoint it's first base... I like it.

I bet it's silly to worry that you aren't nostalgic enough. I might even go so far as "crazy." Even crazier when you consider how sure I've been for so long that I'd end up someplace far away. If I saw it coming; if I anticipated it, why worry that it's turning out to be great?

I don't. I just worry that it's only the start of an even longer journey with no end... In which case, I own too much stuff.
