end of the innocence

Somehow we've made it to Barstow.  We'll rest here for a while. 

A came over last night and stayed till after 1am doing his laundry and talking to me--Kali, cyclical universes, gathering his energy back after his accident, hoarding, ocd.  Also he played my guitar. 

So we weren't sleeping till 1:30am and got a later start than we intended this morning.

I have coffee I'm using for the caffeine but with mixed success.  Ming got a huge strawberry shake at Mad Greek.

Panera is so bougie.  A song is playing from when I was a teenager, and I know every word.
