One more.

it's strange how the knowledge that you're going home changes your attitude. i..

did grocery shopping and agonized over the price of chicken breast and thigh fillets.
picked out a few carrots, onions and potatoes.
voluntarily butchered onions (ho ho ho) and cooked dinner.
cracked a joke with my uncle. (OMFG GET A HOLD OF YOUSELF WOMAN!)
had a substantially long conversation with my cousin.
smiled.

it's all over folks...and in more ways than one.
i have not packed.
and i have a whole basket full of laundry to clean and iron by tomorrow night.
