The News: Friday, July 12 Edition

My house is empty! It wasn’t until I woke up that I realized how very long it’s been since I was in a place with no other people, and I’m really enjoying it. Later this afternoon a good friend is picking me up so I can do a bunch of running around, but then it’ll be an entire evening of being alone in my house. I’m planning on blasting some music, finishing unpacking, doing some laundry, making some food, and probably cracking open that bottle of wine that’s been chilling in the back of the refrigerator since before I went on vacation. Not a bad way at all to spend a Friday night when I’m not working, really.
