.unready for re-entry.
After a (sortof) week in the Outerbanks, I have returned home. I was incredibly happy to reunite with Pete, but it all felt too abrupt. Like ... "Here's home ... get back to work, say goodbye to the best person ever, and return to the mundane" ... all in less than 24 hours. I had a wonderful time; it was an awesome/relaxing/wonderful/beautiful vacation, but it just left me bummed to be back and super sad to see Matt go. But I think that is how life is, and you just have to adjust ... and have the most amazing time with what you are given, which I can honestly say that I did.
Gregg and I are home alone for the week (hopefully minus the burglars who vexed Mr. Culkin). But I doubt I will be home much to enjoy the solitude. Work is gonna get super busy, I have two birthdays next week with some of my favorite people EVER, and I may get to visit with Matt again. And on top of that, I am on dog duty (return payment for the fam watching Pete last week). But I promise that if anyone wants to drop in, I will make you yummy food.
So I am not sure what triggered the recent mantra running through my head ... but I have decided that people get taken from you super easily. There is no reason for me to be mean or unappreciative with the amazing people in my life, because I don't want to be the person who looks back and regretfully says, "Fuck, I wish that wasn't the way we spent our last conversation/visit together."
I am going to trek to the chinese restaurant for dinner, because the nap I took around 2:00 pm made me a bit too groggy to operate a stove.
Take care everyone.
