since i left chicago...
...i've been able to sleep in a room with doors AND windows....i've been able to hold my niece a lot. a really really lot.
...i started working at a job that i actually care about and enjoy doing.
...the sun has shone for days on end. metaphorically as well as literally.
...i eat on a regular basis and i don't just mean i eat leftover chips or old granola bars.
...i get to spend time with my family.
i love being at home. i love it. i love it that when i go to the grocery with my mom she knows the kid behind the deli counter. i love that a woman i work with has a postcard on her desk that says "it's nice to be important but it's more important to be nice." i love that i can drive to work. i love that i can afford gas here. i love that tucker has a big yard to play in. i love that half the people here have trucks. i love that i have no interest in the suburban boys that wear wraparound sunglasses, drive lowriders, and wear those shirts with the single stripe around the chest but that they check me out anyway.
i fucking love it here.

awww. No Come back Kate! Don't leave us forever!
ps Going grocery shopping with your mom is awesome because then you can get all the things you can't afford on your own.
That sounds so fun!! You paint a lively portrait of what I miss about home. Just Monday, I woke up, wishing I could spend the day with my mummy and pops. If only teletrasportation (is that the right word?) was a viable mean of travel. PS- Faran from the Oakwoods has been now been officially, repeatedly spotted at my office building.
What is your new job?
Don't fall for it Kate! You're becoming a Pod! And not the good kind of Pod either (that would be an iPod). But the bad kind of Pod. From that body snatchin' movie. Don't fall asleep!
Eh, stay there.
