Back Home Again

and how divine it is. surrounded by the warmth and love of my parents; i appreciate them in a new way. they're so excited to see me, especially my dad, who practically jumped out of his chair when i came in. he's making his usual delightful jokes with his mild sense of humor--I'll put some of them up here.

my mom is full of stories about the old neighborhood and the office and her newest home improvement project: picking out tile for the fireplace and entryway floor.

i feel calm and clear and relieved to be home. living with other people my own age was fun, though.
