Most of this is normal stuff, I know. But I kind of just realized I could live out of my car for a few days if necessary. And it seems as if I have been doing so for the past couple of months.

 And on days like this… when I’m too tired to make it out of the car and empty its contents of the week - dirty work scrubs and Tudors bags and weekend duffels packed for wherever I landed those nights - when shadows begin to move from the corners of my eyes and I’m not sure I can brave the spider at the front door…. I’m tempted to just stay put in this bucket seat and let NPR weave me in philosophical folk dreams.
