I'm back in York and surprisingly happy to be "home." This is a Very Good Thing. A more thorough update is in the offing, I promise, but I did not sleep at all on the plane and I don't have it in me to write a huge post. The plane was very empty, but that didn't stop the guy in the row in front of me from letting loose 6 hours of sliders. Ugh ( Read more... )

And also, it was just really nice to not have to carry home my ( Read more... )

A very happy birthday to my big sister Steph!

Can't wait to see you again!
