568 West

Chase and I arrived in Houston (Central 10am?)..
My eyes were sore and I felt a bit maladjusted.
Not that socializing with others is something I dislike,
in fact I do; very much.
But airports always give me a nervous stomach and send my emotions on haywire.
Anyway, we went to our Gate to wait for our plane to board to Orlando.
At this point my body is drained and all I wanted to do is go to sleep.
In fact I did..put on Feels and knocked out..I awoke to the Office being played
on the screens and to my Mom's smile, so thats always comforting.
We finally reached our destination in Merritt Island.
Its about 40 miles East of Orlando.
Its pretty out there and very desolate, its quite a culture shock.
I suppose if you live here then you dont really know much else.
We arrived to my Grandma's house where my Mom's sister, Barbara, was making some veggie stir fry w/noodle concoction and making some chicken fixins for the rest of the family. We hung out with our Great Grandpa whom recently turned a 100 years old.
Seeing how his daily life goes is very surreal and I feel fortunate to see him alive and well.
We're now in Cocoa Beach? I think? Where Barbara lives, shes cool.
She likes blasting Zeppelin and talking about how she used to be vegetarian back in the 60's. So we have some relation.
Ironically, here computer is ancient and busted, but Chase and I were relieved to see that her internet works and we can regain some sanity.
Were currently listening to Dream Island Laughing Language and its helping my nerves mellow--I suppose this Chamomile tea helps too.
