I’m tired, y’all.

I really like to combine words, as you know, but only when I do it on purpose. Twice in the last 24 hours, I’ve accidentally combined words, coming out with nonsensical statements such as, “I want to move that book shafe,” and, “It’s good enough for Mao,” which, though nonsensical, is very entertaining. I just like imagining Chairman Mao inspecting my house with a white glove and finding it satisfactory.

But all that just illustrates how exhausted I am, and I don’t want to take a nap because then it’ll throw off the night sleeping, morning waking schedule I’m trying to set up. Plus there’s SO much stuff that needs to find a home in my bedroom, and if I’m asleep, that means I’m not putting anything away, and if I’m not putting anything away, that means I’m still living amongst mountains of boxes that are preventing me from accessing my dresser.

Sigh. I love moving.

In related news, being back in Raleigh is…weird. On the one hand, everything is familiar and somewhat normal. It’s almost like I never left. And on the other hand, things are new, and I’m trying to figure it all out again just like you do when you move to a new city. My schedule isn’t in place yet, I’m not in a rhythm, I don’t know where all my stuff should go, and I’m looking for new groups (community group, writing group, kickball group?).

I wouldn’t say I’m ecstatic about the change, but I’m definitely not unhappy with it either. I think I just need time to adjust and several good nights of rest in a row. But mostly the rest.
