It's lovely to be home.
Well, while the last several days of beach-bumming were generally pretty pleasant, it is certainly a relief to be back here. Here, it's easier to avoid the constant conflict between my mother and her husband (which she and I discussed during our trip back last night), in addition to the relief that comes with being able to see Scott regularly.
There are a lot of things I could be doing to prepare for this whole school thing in a useful way, but instead, I'm investing in some kind of rapid vanity-trip. Momentarily, I'll be rinsing the styling wax out of my hair so I can replenish the black's former intensity, which faded quite a bit in the chlorine, salt, and sun... I'll also be venturing, at some point tonight, to do a good job of painting my own finger & toenails this lovely shade I picked up today. The crowning event, however, is some nice internet-sale-shopping.
I guess the point is that even with a whole disastrously large pile of work (reading Heart of Darkness and Beloved, along with assorted tasks I have assigned myself) ahead of me, I am still quite glad to be home.
Also, beach crabs are great entertainment.
