the bed is in the ocean

i've resorted to superstition. i'm pretty sure that today's winds are here not only to chase away our miniature spring-time simulacrum, they're also aiming to blow far away the curse that has cloaked us for a full week now. life does feel a bit calmer now, but there's a lot of residual messiness hanging around. full nights have been slept. previously stalled tours around the country have resumed in new vehicles. but still, i donned my greek eye necklace [meant to ward away evil spirits] today with the intention of wearing it until we are absolutely in the clear.

i miss chicago already. it seems to get worse every time i come home. part of me wants to put an envelope in the drawer to start a moving fund, but luckily it's not the entire whole of me. it's hard to want to stay put when you have a job you can do anywhere.
