Quick but not so dirty


It is a truly wonderful feeling to be stretched out on my brother Sean’s couch, screwing around on le internet after midnight, with full knowledge that I will be here for many more days. It’s only Monday, and I don’t fly back to California until Sunday. And, even better, just a few days from now, we will all be at Chip’s wedding. I cannot imagine an event more wonderful.

I got a computer bag for Christmas that has to be seen to be believed. There is a compartment and pocket and zipper and velcro for every little thing you might ever wish to have on your person. There is a separate, perfectly situated pocket for travel documents. It almost makes me wish I had more stuff so I could fill every wee nook. I spent a fair amount of time this evening just putting stuff where it ought to go, and it was wholly satisfying. Also, it’s ergonomic. It actually hugs me when I pick it up. If only it would make me both breakfast and sweet love, all of my problems would be solved.

Tomorrow might be the last day that Kent et al will be here. Which means I should probably stop tooling around the internet and sleep. But it’s all been so darn lovely.
