time keeps dragging on

tomorrow is my last long day for the week. and i am exhausted. i don't know whether it's the weather doing it (did i mention it's getting cold?) or if i've got some bug or something. it's not like it was a few months ago when i had the sleeping flu (self diagnosed clearly) because i can et past 8 o'clock at night but the thought of getting dressed and leaving the house almost sends me crawling under the covers and hiding until the next day begins. i feel so boring. i feel like i'm letting my friend's down and not giving them anything fun to read about america. so, in saying that, i am writing down my five favourite places in america that i've gone to, both town or specific location, and they're in order:
1. arlington national cemetery - had the power to change my mind to being buried if i had a place as lovely as that to go to. makes you very aware of just how many people are willing to give their lives for this country.
2. chicago and the inner northern suburbs - the city is beautiful and clean and the suburbs remind me a little of home sometimes, the toorak areas on the face of it but the brunswick feel underneath it all.
3. siesta key, florida - it was so nice to see the beach. and the walk into the main street was refreshing. a tiny little place that probably thrives on tourist season. peaceful.
4. sun studios, memphis, tn - elvis and johnny cash first recorded here. need i say more?
5. atlanta - technically, i wasn't in downtown atlanta, but there was a vibe i got there and knew instantly that i had to go back. i got that feeling whilst we were driving along the interstate to the hotel, before we'd actually arrived anywhere.
so that's the list.
have a good weekend australia, it looks like the thrid deat never happend in last weeks bad week.
