sun comes up Today started out so much better than yesterday. After having a dream where I was married to Ann, which was odd to say the least, I watched the light from the window in my bedroom slowly get brighter and brighter. Morning was here and I was determined to have a productive day. One of the first things that I did this morning was go downstairs and adjust the screen door so it no longer slams shut. It sounds like a small thing, but it has been bothering me for months now. I think that I finally put a stop to a major pet peeve of mine. Five years. I've been living here five years now and I can honestly say that I never knew that I would be here this long. I've been here as long as I was in college and I moved at least twice during that time. Since I've been here, I've changed jobs and cars, but have always called this home except for the eight months when I lived with my last girlfriend. This was the place that I came back to after California. This was the place that I came back to after Nova Scotia. This was the place that I came back to after Europe. This is the place that I came back to after Australia. Now I want all of that to change. I want something new that I can call my own. I stumbled across some photos of the place that I took a few years ago and I realized that I've rearranged things more than once. There have also been some other new additions to the decor such as prints and statues that I didn't have when I first got here. Obviously some of this has been part of my changing tastes and an effort to distant my place from that of a post college home. Without a doubt I am going to throw some things out when I move. I want my new place to have a slightly different look and feel than what I have now. ... Tonight I heard something that I didn't want to hear, but half expected. At the moment I can't really say what I want to do next.
