novapsycheNot the holiday I was expecting.
It is hard for me to believe that, last year at this time, I was here, in this selfsame house. And that, when we traveled back home to Des Moines that night and I called my home in Michigan, I found out that my great-aunt had passed away. Last Christmas was odd.
Today, I woke and immediately calculated how much gas money it will take me to travel from Iowa City to Carson City, tonight.
I hate driving on holidays. Absolutely the worst conditions to drive under. However, the weather for the next two days should be clear of precipitation on I-80 westbound. So at least I have nature on my side.
I'm trying to keep my baggage light, since I'll only be away for a month, at most two. So far, I have four boxes and a laundry bag full of underclothes. I'll need to pack at least one more box, for my CDs and small radio.
I am hiding myself from substances. That's one way I'm looking at this trip. Well, except for alcohol. That will be one of the few vices I will be allowed. But, no pot, no DXM, no O, no salvia, no DiPT, no LSD, no E, none of these. From the new year until perhaps just past my birthday, I will be in a period of cleansing. Give my body a chance to heal.
This will be kind of a retreat, in a sense. I will have full hours to myself. I can meditate, read, journal. Be calm, for a short while. Get back on psychic footing for awhile.
Anyway, I may be away from LiveJournal during my travels. I may not be back until March. Which saddens me. I've come to see LJ as better than email. This is the first page I check when I get online. I'm going to miss many folks here.
Merry Christmas, everyone.

Does a firm persuasion that a thing is so, make it so?
we are those wishing to mutate & survive.
put the fun back in nihilism, hack your consciousness.
