tainted

tonight i had to get out of the house. i have been couped up in the house for a week. sick. and i needed out. no matter where i go it involves a drive. and during the drive tonight i realized i am having an identity crisis. we truly live in the middle of nowhere. taint michigan. and taint indiana. i know our mailing address is michigan but it sure doesn't feel like we belong. anywhere. everything is lumped together. into a much despised word. michiana. i have come to a conclusion. we live in geographical pergatory.
