Although this is called ‘Thought for the Day’, which may be suggestive of it being part of a series, it is not. This is really just an isolated post, and since this thought consumes me, could be considered the ‘Thought of the Day’ for all days. Well, until it isn’t.
Ever felt completely displaced, both temporally and spatially? That is how I feel right now. Forced to exist in a location and time zone that just feels completely alien. Nothing around me seems to make sense. Everything just looks wrong, feels wrong. It seems as if the sun rises and sets at all the wrong times, and that there is no longer any order to the world. I know that this will change when I am in the location and time in which I belong, where my heart is, my home. Until that time I know that nothing will feel right.
Ever felt that way?

Awwww I wish my magic wand worked better. Darn thing never does what I ask. Hard to go from a fairy tale to reality.

So do I Pam. Wave your wand again, please. The thing is that I do not consider this reality, more of a nightmare really.

My heart bleeds over this post. Truly, it does. There is an iced coffee on second street waiting for you and a burger in a pub next door. Odd that it is the St. Charles, is it not?
Even without said pub and Coffee shop there is one place in the world where we will both feel at home. I feel the same way in reverse. Nothing is right, none of the places I go are home right now and everything (Including but not limited to) my own house feel foreign to me.
I want to dance under Christmas lights and get lost on the way to 3037. I want to steal a sofa from the PM and bitch about missing bunnies.
I am happy to wander aimlessly forever looking for a shop that showed up one day and vanished the next.
Anywhere, everywhere, all the time. It is you that makes it all worth while.

I look forward to the coffee and burger. It will not be long. I want all those things too.
Anywhere, everywhere, all the time. It is you that makes it all worth while. I so agree.

At least it’s a time zone issue and not a historical era issue. One is easier to fix than the other.

That is true. And it will be fixed. I have absolutely no doubt of that. No time machine required, just immigration battles.
