Homecoming
I’m home.
Lots of things have changed in the mere six months since I moved away from home. My parents are divorced now. My mother has moved (although not more than 300 meters). My father is dating a new woman I haven’t met yet. My sister has graduated and is engaged with her boyfriend.
The house has changed on a more physical plane as well. New furniture in the TV room. My dad now lives in my old room, and my parents’ old room is now completely empty — even the carpet is gone. Once there’s a new floor and new wallpapers, my sister will use it as her room.
I’ve really missed the dogs. It felt good to play with them again. Though Daffy is getting old and prefers to sit in someones lap and enjoy the view instead.
Me and Dad went and visited my grandparents too. They asked me what I wanted for Christmas, and I answered something you never thought you’d say when you were a kid: I wanted soft packages. That’s what I need now that I’ve moved away from home. Socks. Bed sheets. Pillows. That kind of stuff. I also got 1000 SEK from my grandfather. Very nice, my economy is a bit strained at the moment. That covers the cost of the flight here, and back again.
Side note: I’ve upgraded MovableType to 2.51.
