Currently with two houses, it's exactly like living a double life...and work being what it is, my home away from home and all, I increase my lives to three. That's only six less than the average cat.
How exciting.
I suppose if we want to get all metaphorical and stuff, that makes the old home the id...the new home the ego...and my home away from home (work), the super ego.
This is not uncharted territory as we've navigated this landscape before, the id being the basic need and unorganized desire that we are all born with, the ego being realistic solutions to the id's basic needs and the super ego is the internalization of cultural rules and punishes the self for unsavory conduct (a.k.a. doubt).
The ego really is the mediator here...what might happen when we let go of the id? What if we shun the super ego?
In a sense, what we have here is split personality time travel. Being the only one of the three we're born with, the id gets to represent history. Being the one that makes us regret our current choices based on how we may feel tomorrow, the super ego is future. That leaves the ego, the great mediator, as the present as it must rely on its wits and realistic insight to make necessary choices in the here and now...like deciding to move to a new house to avoid time portals, for instance.
Today's Jazz Hands were Freudian.
Day two-hundred and thirty-two complete.
