Sleeping Around 2009-2010

Of all the various projects I have going on here on this blog, the Sleeping Around schedule is by far my favorite. Essentially, it is a graphical and statistical look at where I sleep*. Last year about this time, I posted about it, and being that I've just completed my second year of record keeping, I thought I would do a little summary post about this year's sleeping around.

Overall stats
Nights spent at home:	79 (21.6%)
Nights spent housesitting:	122 (33.4%)
Nights spent travelling:	164 (45%)

Travel Breakdown
In-state travel:	50 (30%)
Domestic travel:	83 (50%)
International travel:	31 (19%)

Other stats worth noting: I slept in a tent or under the stars* 39 nights—that's over a month! Also over a month (34 nights) in hotels/hostels. I spent almost a month's worth of nights (24) sleeping in cars, trains, or planes (but mostly cars, for that stat).

Being able to look back on a year to see where I've been and get a clearer picture of how I've spent my time is so interesting and beneficial. I'm so glad I started the habit of keeping track. I hope I keep it up (and that it stays as interesting and diverse) for years to come.

I think the clear thing we can judge from this is that you let us down last February (I expect you to bring your game face come Groundhog's Day!). That and that you lead a pretty cool life dude :)

@Horge: For your info, the reason I was home for such a long stint last February was because I was housesitting for my mom. So that only partially counts as being stationary.
