My life has always been a little strange, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Normalcy just bores me. Well I made another spontaneous/ maybe wild decision last night. The forecast was calling for MAJOR snow in the DC area....we are supposed to get like 30 in. by the time it's done tomorrow night. Jokingly, I suggested to Tre that I was going to flee the area and come out to California to avoid the storm. The more I thought about it though, it seemed like a no-brainer. I'm done with classes for the week (not that the University will be open through all of this), and why should I choose to get snowed into my apartment and be miserable?
That's one thing that's characteristic of me....I hate to be stuck anywhere! I can't even stay home for a day without going out to do something. It doesn't have to be anything exciting; I just need to get out in the world. And if I feel like I'm forced to stay in, it's like being in prison. I can't handle it!
After staying in all weekend last weekend, miserable with neck pain, I knew my psyche needed this trip.
......so here I am in California! Somehow, we managed to get me on a flight yesterday that flew out at 6:50 AM before the snow started to fall in DC. I had to drive to Baltimore to fly out of BWI, and I flew into San Francisco. My neck really started to bother me on the plane....(I think the altitude affects it, along with lugging around my bags). I was absolutely exhausted, and unfortunately I had a middle seat for both flights in my journey to SF. On the flight from Milwaukee to SF, I sat next to a really friendly lady who's from Wisconsin, and she and her husband are planning to move to California. She had also lived in Virginia for awhile, and we talked for a bit about the differences in culture and the people between east and west coast. It's nice to hear other people confirm those notions because sometimes I think maybe I'm fooling myself by thinking a geographical cure will make me happy....but I truly think it will.
Anyway, I dozed off for maybe an hour after our chat, and at the end of our flight she asked me if my neck hurt because I was sleeping with my chin on my chest. She said, "You could have slept with your head on my shoulder!"
I thought that was really cute. :-)
So anyway...I rented a car through good 'ol Fox again, and what do you know.....I got hooked up with a PT Cruiser again! Ha! This one isn't bright blue though; it's black. It feels good to be home. :-)
I'm driving from SF to Tre's outside of Sacramento. I stopped in Fairfield, and I've been in this Starbucks for like three hours now. I've just been in a zone....it may have something to do with the fact that I've gotten one hour of sleep in the last like 35 hours. So I've been writing, reading, and doing some research on herniated cervical discs. When my plane landed I had a message from my doctor's office explaining that was the result of the MRI I had yesterday. I can maybe go into more of that later.....
I'm running out of steam and need to get back on the road. I think I have another hour plus to Sac.
Lada!!!!

For my one follower ;-)
I'm such a shitty blogger. :-(
I swear my life is really interesting, I just forget to write about all of the weird and cool things that happen. haha
