athenaltena | Home, cats and hair

Glad to say that I made it back home in one piece in a reasonable amount of time. It was pretty miserable when I left Boston, but the bus ride wasn't too bad this time (it helps that I wasn't stuck in four hours of traffic this time) and as luck would have it the girl I was sitting next to is the cousin of someone who lives on my dorm floor! I also helped out a girl who was visiting colleges with her parents, since they didn't know the area, and hopefully that turned out alright for them.

After I met up with mom and we had lunch (at Crazy Noodles, naturally) Stella was certainly happy to see me, and after an initial period of being wary of me she turned into a little love muffin and wanted me to scratch her ears. Jesse's sitting behind me on the couch sleeping, so at least some things never change.

Once thing I did notice was that it was a bit odd to be home last night and not have a lot of sounds outside, since I guess I'd gotten used to hearing Tremont St. all night. I didn't have trouble sleeping, it was just a bit odd at first.

Today I went and got my hair cut from April, my usual hairdresser, and afterwards Mom and I had lunch at a place in Sunderland. We happened to run into the guy who directed a winter Valley Light Opera production we were both in, and though we didn't chat until we were both leaving he apparently didn't recognize me, though it's understandable given that the last time he saw me I had long hair and no glasses.

I also got the last piece of Mom's present, though I won't say what it is here. ;) And of course we have Thanksgiving with the family tomorrow.
