home & away

well, la-tee-da! seven and i are back at the funky little shack fixing breakfast and coffee and playing ball. it feels so good to be home. even though the place is a little bit of a wreck, it's still mine. kind of like my psyche...
today is wednesday. i will hit the ground running in a little over an hour work nonstop for 8 hours, and then fall up the stairs to my abode and prepare for my weekend vacation that starts tomorrow at 5:30!
i am a little scared to do this trip by myself, even though i've driven on dozens of looooong trips before all by my lonesome, just never for a solo vacation. it's going to be an adventure and i think it will be a lot of fun. i need to do some more research before i go so i'm not wandering around totally unprepared.
so far i've only researched vintage shops and bookstores because, well, i have a sickness when it comes to those two things.
restaurants i never worry about because you just watch where the local license plates are parked and that almost always indicates the best food. my bosses, however, have pulled a string or two to get me dinner at two restaurants (owned by one of the bosses' stepbrother). i'm excited about that. i could eat my way through just about any city and i pretty much have.
i'm most looking forward to drinking coffee in the morning and people watching, though. i'll be thinking lots of thinky thoughts that will most likely make it into a post or two.
i hope your day is lovely!
adieu for now,
lu
