Scenes from Ida-home

[wrote_and_writ]

I’ve been home (at my mom’s) for just over 24 hours now. So far, we have:
3 elderly dogs (aged 13-19) hanging out
Nibling cuddles!
Nephew giving me a hug and saying he missed me and he can’t wait to see what treats I brought him 😂 (at least he said he missed me first)
Niece drawing me pictures of kittens and saying, as she was drawing, “you’re gonna love this so much, Auntie Deb!” (I do love them!)
Jet lag
Nachos
Diner breakfast
FREEZING COLD TEMPS (the week’s HIGHS are all BELOW freezing)
Wi-Fi that connects automatically, no need for my VPN
Book mail
New sweaters
Doggie cuddles
Minimal family weirdness (so far)

ALSO, I finished season two of Under the Skin and I. Am. DYING. What a cliffhanger! UGH! Thankfully, there’s some excellent fic already, I’m tentatively making some friends (I hope) and have one friend at least who is watching it now so I can squeal in real time.

EDIT: my mom just reminded me that yesterday was the anniversary of my dad’s death. It didn’t hit me this year, probably because I was busy with work and then stressed about travel. It’s also the anniversary of my great-grandma’s death (25 years!) — I remember staying with her while my grandparents went to the funeral of my other great-grandma. I was stressing about a paper for finals and she, being an Italian nonna to the core, saw me struggling, laughed, and got me something to eat. The years really do be coming and they don’t stop coming.

Yay for home time and family and doggos!

Also hugs for anniversaries for your dad and grandmother. So many hugs!!

(And then incoherent screeching for UTS XD The kiddo is out of the house this afternoon so I'm binging as many episodes as I can of the first season LOL)
