It's 4:30 AM and I'm in Evanston, WY.  Yesterday's drive went pretty well except for one scary moment where we discovered my cat gets carsick... in her panic she was jumping around and making for the litterbox on the floor in front of the passenger seat and she knocked the car out of gear while we were just about to cross the Richmond Bridge, then, in my idiot panic at freaking car/barfing cat, knocked it into reverse for a split second, which stalled the car.  I'm glad it did, you know, have an auto-save-the-transmission-shutoff thing, but it was frightening to pull over on the bridge with a terror of being stuck there with most of my worldly possessions.  Then I started the car back up and everything was fine.  The rest of the trip has been uneventful; Matthew is even pretty good about not whining too much. 

I'm excited to be heading back but really sad about leaving and I feel torn between going on and turning around and going back. Which is dumb and I won't do since there's the simple fact of houselessness and no money, plus a rocky relationship to boot.  I guess I just miss Pete more than I thought I would, at least right at the moment.  But like he said earlier this week, California isn't going anywhere.  At least, we don't think it's quite ready to fall into the ocean just yet.

But I still can't sleep.  Plus this Comfort Inn has scratchy, pilled blankets that smell like feet.  I prefer AmericInns when I can, but the nearest one is in Laramie -  just a little too far for a single day driving on my own.

So here's a meme.  Post a screencap of your current desktop/wallpaper.   (This photo sent to me at random  last week made me very glad I was coming home. L to R, lj-less Kasey, kurterossbach , heartless1979 , and the infamous jerasue
