Woke up today to dark windy shivering rain. Not the kind of rain that tapers off to a mild day, but the curl up on the couch with a book and a cup of soup listening to the radio kind of rainy day. Where the windows are streaked with rain and the cars hiss as they drive by and in your head you think you hear the blues indistinctly lolling.
So that is a comfort, to wrap around yourself. Makes me not even care that I have three exams today because it just calms me into a certain state of mind. That, or the fact that I couldn't sleep last night is making me rather docile.
Parents will arrive tomorrow, and I really need to start moving very soon. On Wednesday night leave Rome, stay at hotel near both airport and beach, and on Thursday morning fly to DC. Have I mentioned how shocked and excited I am that I have a direct flight? Honestly, I can't remember ever doing that. It seems so wrong, so ... simple.
In other news, Berlin had its traditional May Day rioting and politicians seem to be debating all over the damn place. Eh.
