I made a spontaneous trip to my parent's house this weekend, and so far, I'm very glad I did.
The drive was boring as usual, but I was able to listen to 3 hours of Radiolab which I can't say I didn't enjoy. I was able to talk to Amanda about everything which really helped. We really need to call each other more often, because every time I come home it seems like something dramatic has happened in our lives and neither of us knew about it. Last night I spent time with my family, and Dad told me about going on Officer Don & the Popeye Club show when he was little. He won a pair of roller skates. Then we watched Arrested Development, which grows funnier with every episode I re-watch.
Today has been lovely. The weather is beautiful. 63 degrees with a light breeze. I'm sitting on the back porch, enjoying the warmth on my skin. I had lunch with Dad at a German restaurant called the Gerst Haus. It was delicious - I am obsessed with sauerkraut and horseradish and all the smoked sausages. Always a good decision.
I'm glad that I'm able to come home when I need to. Sometimes I just need to escape Knoxville for a few days to come back recharged. I know that my lifestyle needs a change there, and I'm hoping to start living in a more productive, satisfying way. It feels like spring already but I'm afraid there's still a few more weeks of winter around the corner. I can't wait 'til its spring.
