I'm back home again! It's kind of weird to be here. It's like all of a sudden the house sitting is over, and then it's just over. Oslo and I got along quite well; I wonder if I'll miss him. I'm glad to be back, but I feel a little disoriented. It's the same feeling I get when I travel to another place: in no time you have switched environments and it happens so quickly and all at once. But I suppose I always feel that way when thinking about time and space, because the one thing that hasn't changed is me, and I start to ponder what is really real anyway.
Dave, Oslo's owner, offered to give me a ride home. I accepted since it saved me probably about an hour of travel and waiting time. I was back at my apartment in maybe 5 minutes.
I felt happy and full of energy when I got back, and the weather was really nice. A little cool and misty; perfect for a brisk walk. So that's what I did. I walked around my neighborhood, and happened to find some very pretty leaves, so I gathered up a bunch. Maybe I'll sew some up tonight.
It's weird that it's 5pm and basically dark. I woke up today at 6am (thinking it was 7am). It gave me that extra hour to not feel as rushed when I cleaned up the house and packed up my things. I drove the mini cooper one last time to go grab a latte and a curried chicken wrap at whole foods. Both were delicious. I'm finished up editing and uploading my pics from Hawaii. I hope to get that done tonight.
That's it for now.
