Home.
Today was good.
Ocean, check.
Friends, check.
Dunkin Donuts, check.
Car, check.
Family, check.
Shaw's, check.
Emma, check.
Shoe-less shower, check.
Newburyport, check.
So great to be back.
On the other hand, a little overwhelming. My brain was on overload at Sarah's tonight seeing so many people at once. Amazing how easy it is to fall back into old feelings and drama. Gah. I really need to learn how to turn my brain off and stop thinking so damn much.
Today (well, yesterday I suppose) is Sarah's birthday and therefore the 7 year anniversary of my friendship with Jen. Hard to believe. We've come along way from the infamous chicken coop face-off...or have we? :)
I'm used to coming home and turning on late night TV in the kitchen but it's too late even for that. I hate that college has made 3:00 a.m. a normal time to be awake.
Not much has changed here in three months. The driveway is paved, the floor in the addition is different, the grand piano is back...that tombstone place next to Wendy's is gone, there's a new building at Port Plaza, a new yellow line in the road on Maple Street, and a new house next to the Episcopal Church...my brother has gained weight, my mother has lost weight...there's a bike path on High Street in Nport (not cool)...and the beach seems to have eroded some. Oh and the Park Lunch burnt down (sort of).
I'm excited about food tomorrow. Delicious. I hope my aunt comes through with the corn pudding.
