I can't decide whether I'm listless or restless. I don't feel like doing anything. But I desperately want to be doing things in other places.
I just can't write creatively these days with so many other responsibilities taking up real estate in my head, which leaves me feeling vapid like a bit of driftwood - solid but weightless.
Mum reminded me that this time last year we were in Tahoe. It was snowing, while we sat inside this rustic wood-beamed restaurant having margaritas. I can't begin to describe how severely my chest aches to be there again.
It's been a year since then and two since Fort Bragg, with no travel plans on the horizon for me. Dad and Joel are taking off for the southern continent in less than a month, but my London plans have probably been postponed for yet another long year.
Obama will likely be sworn in before I'm conscious tomorrow. It's too hard to wrap my brain around the fact that something I've been waiting eight years for is at hand. I wish I could be somewhere where the momentousness of the occasion would reach me.
