So I'm home.

Leaving this morning affected me more than I thought it would. My parents have sold the house they've lived in for the past twenty years, and will be in the new place by Christmas. So when I was leaving this morning it hit me that I was leaving. Suprised both my mom and myself by getting a little teary eyed.

The trip was ok. Long, but ok. Got home and immediately went grocery shopping so I would actually have food for when eeyorekdm gets here. She's on her way as I type. Should be here in an hour or so, if driving goes well. I'm looking forward to her visit, but I'm going to be so exhausted on my first day of work. Totally worth it though. Can't wait to see her.

It's weird, it's not affecting me at all, but then again you probably have fonder memories of the place than I do. Ages 10-18 were pretty dull and / or depressing for me. Perhaps I'm just used to it by now, having better recollections of our home in Riyadh, and that's a location I can't even drive by and have a quick peak at, considering it isn't even on this continent. Plus, your room still resembles your room. I'll miss it I suppose, I do drive by places I used to live and got nostalgic. Hell, I get nostalgic driving past skunk237's parents' old house. It could also be because you're leaving, but I get the benefit of sticking around until they move out, so it just hasn't hit me yet. I know that it's going to be weird at Christmas this year, at the new house. But hey, the only constant thing in life is change.

I hope you had a safe flight home. It was nice seeing you. I just realized we didn't visit long enough, since we didn't even get into a single argument. What the hell's wrong with us?

I thought I was going to be all blase about it too but when I put my stuff in the car it suddenly hit me so I ran inside to get a few real quick last impressions of everything.

We definitely didn't have enough time together. That's the one thing about the short trips...they're nice cause I don't have time to start getting aggravated about being back, living with the parents, dealing with high school shennanigans, etc. but I also don't have quite enough time for the good stuff.
