It usually takes me quite a bit of deliberation before I do anything, but within the span of about 2 seconds tonight I decided that I would go home for the weekend. I'm not sure why. Perhaps because it's Halloween weekend and I don't like Halloween anymore. (Actually, I quite like Halloween in the way it's supposed to be, with kids and costumes and all that. But I cannot go trick-or-treating anymore ["Yes you can!" No I can't, I wouldn't even enjoy it.] and I don't like parties, so Halloween will be gone from my life until I have a baby. That baby is going to have awesome original costumes and eat donuts from a string on the ceiling.) It's also Homecoming weekend, so maybe it's that I don't want to be around that. Maybe I plan on surprising my mom when she comes home. Maybe I just want to get my winter coat because it was cold today, or maybe I want to buy a new coat but I probably should have gotten it in a season when it was on sale and what kind do I want anyway?
I don't think I'm going home because I'm sad, because I don't even think I'm sad right now. My body isn't acting like I am. I'm moving around, my face feels fine. I even enjoyed walking outside and thought of a nice sentence when I passed a squirrel with not one, but TWO crab apples in its mouth. But suddenly, since 5:30, the words that come out of my mouth have been slow and brief, and then they were saying, "I'm gonna go home tomorrow." Suddenly I was calling my dad, and suddenly it was decided.
I think I'm going home to write.
