I am home home. Moreno Valley home.
It is blistering hot and I have children crawling all over me. I can't seem to get things I need done to be done. I've been in California for 4 days and all I want to do is get away when all I've been doing is staying away. Italy is coming up soon. A little too soon. It's funny. While I want to be away, I still want to be close, I guess just minus the chaos and noise and stress.
My mother is wearing my collar shirt. One of the rare ones that I like wearing. I am sweating buckets and it is 8:30. It reminds me of Brandon, VT.
My trip was overall very good. I am sorry that I haven't really posted in forever but if you were on my email list, you would have gotten all the updates. I guess I could go back and write a journal for each day. I finished the host evaluations yesterday and I actually took a lot of pride in those. brendan even said they looked good. :) so yay. Now it's time to brush up the cue sheets. but that task is a little more daunting because I actually have to do them over again since I can't find my originals. : /
It's a little weird being home. I'm now a little older and a little wiser but probably just as oblivious. I see all sorts of problems, see some kind of resolution for them but there's always some little hint of hesitation. Life is indeed hard.
I am not particularly motivated to see anyone at this point. Despite all the phone calls to hang out, I hope everyone understands that I just need a little more time to myself right now. Being on a 2 month cross-country trip with 30 people for 24 hours straight is a little hard at times. as much as I have grown to love all those people, I don't think a couple of weeks to myself is enough. Right now I just want to be able to sit in front of the tv and just lie there until I'm ready to make my entrance into the world again. It'll be all right again soon. I'm just tired.
It was good to see all my clothes again. Only have 3 sets of clothes for the entire summer, I don't think I could have done it. But now cmoing back, I forgot that I had so many clothes. I want to live minimalistly but I don't think I actually can.
Paul, the newborn, is adorable and I ended up spending my entire day with him. He's so cute he's almost edible. My grandma and uncle are going to Vietnam tomorrow. I even considered cancelling italy to be able to go with them. Maybe next time.
