Back in my hometown - Town I've lived in since I was born - For almost a week and I'm already losing it. I have my moments of relaxation, especially when the weather is nice and I can go hang in the woods, but this is slightly unbearable.
I need to be back in the city.
Specifically London.
But I really miss living in the city.
I miss the grocery store being a five minute walk away [or six minutes, according to TFL]. Any amenity close at hand - A quick walk, or underground or bus ride. When I lived in London, it took me practically the same amount of time for my entire walk to and from Sainsbury's and my entire time shopping at Sainsbury's as it takes just driving to Stop & Shop here or back in Rhody. Unacceptable. I love driving - I still do - And I can't deny its therapeutic effects it gives me sometimes - But I've had just about enough, thank you.
Of course, as I'm typing this, the Cold War Kids come on my iTunes to describe my pain and discontent: "There's nothing to do here - Just whine and complain..."
