verbicideSo how much of a 5-year old do I feel like? My parents were here for the weekend and outside of the general annoyance that comes from my mother's passive-aggressive attacks on my cooking (not enough grease and spices for her) , it was SO nice having them here. And now they've left and I feel completely woebegone and homesick.
Yesterday was amazingly cool in some aspects. I did finally get to meet Clarissa, my online boss for this past year, and she was a complete sweetheart in person (as she is online). It was so nice to put a moving body to the name. I was bummed I wasn't able to meet the other Seattle telecommuter, but one day I'm sure I will.
Let me just make a blaringly obvious observation: Nice People Rule. I wonder if we're so used to people being either totally apathetic or actually surly and hostile towards us, that nice people beam out so much.
However, then I came home alone, and for once it bothered me a little. I really miss my dad. For a whole weekend I got to be someone's baby again and was adored and appreciated. The quilts were a big hit and dad always loves my cooking. They loved my apartment, they loved my neighborhood, they loved all the places I showed them. Also was able to make notes of places to take Sarah when she comes out in January.
Mrowr. Back to work.
