the world is your acorn

The Little Red Haired Girl is back from Italy.
I did ok while she was gone, for the most part. Some things:

• I successfully went out 3 nights in a row and did not overdo it
• I tried to be helpful and do some laundry, but apparently I am not domestic enough to open the detergent box without breaking it
• Frozen dinners don’t tend to have a lot of vegetables in them
• The dog enjoys long walks, but in the end really misses socializing with other dogs
• Although I really wanted The Little Red Haired Girl to be able to come home to a really clean house, my proclivities for laziness overcame any niceness urges and in the end I only mostly-cleaned
• Movies are a really nice way to spend a few hours. Why don’t I do that more often?

Life can almost get back to normal now, although with the holiday coming up, then the end of the semester, then the next couple holidays, it’ll be another couple weeks before we really get settled down. Or maybe all this traveling and busy-ness is the norm now and we should just get used to it. I hope not.
