On the street where I live

I'm finally back home. By this point, I've actually been home for a full 24 hours. Yesterday was a bit of a botch, traveling wise. My flight was originally scheduled to leave at 2:10 but after delays, a cancellation, a switch to a different airline and some more delays, I ended up getting out of O'Hare around 8:30 and getting into National at 11:03. I was positively worn out by the time I got home. I woke up around 12:15 this afternoon after sleeping in my own soft bed which was magnificent. I ate lunch from Balducci's with my mom before taking a long shower. At 4 I went to a tea party at one of my very best friend's house. It was great just to be back and fall back into the life that I have back here. My dad came home this evening and we went out to dinner at the standard getting home from school restaurant. It was also my parents' anniversary. 27 years! It makes me so happy to be with them and see how much they love each other and see how much they love me. I'm not sure if I've ever seen anyone as happy to see another person than when I come home from school. My parents are all smiles to see me back in the house. And it makes me extremely happy too.
