come with me

I am sitting in front of a fan, getting blown with deliciously cool air. It's not super hot today, but I've been out grocery shopping and banking and other tasks and it's very sweaty and hot. As much as I like air conditioning, I don't really believe in it. But fans are fine. And ours is a lovely quiet wonder that I will miss.

We went to see Speed Racer over the weekend. I surprised myself by really enjoying it, even though the seats were incredibly uncomfortable for someone as short legged as myself. Mostly I enjoyed the colours and the swirling and the set decorations. There was a beautiful red tea set that I immediately coveted. I turned off the part of my brain that had most of the women being supportive side notes, etc. And so it worked out fine.

Gradually things are coming together for going home. Paying last bills and organising the shutdown of internet and phones etc. I am so very much looking forward to not being treated as a child. It will change my whole life. And I might be touchy about it for a while when I get back. But that will be ok. Just under 19 days until we hop into the car and drive away into the sunset.
