I'm sure i reeked when i got in on Friday night: i hadn't bathed since Thursday morning, and i had slept in my clothes. indeed, in the last couple of hours of bus travel, i realised my mouth tasted like road kill for some reason, so i started downing altoids, eclipse gum, and listerine strips to little effect. once i got home, i immediately brushed my teeth, but i didn't feel like bathing--too much work. didn't get to it saturday either, so it wasn't until this morning that i finally washed florida out of my hair! yesterday and today it has been in the upper 80's here in ohio, hotter than it ever seemed in my 2 weeks in florida.
both dave and a neighbor told me the lid to the fill cap of my car was flipped open a few days ago, so they wondered if someone hadn't stolen some of my gasoline! i haven't started my car yet, but i did turn on the ignition to look at the fuel gauge and the tank still seems full.
i took 17 packs of cigarettes with me and brought 8 back so i only smoked 9 packs in 15 days: that's smoking in a non-smoking world.
i should have gone back to Huntington WV today to see Emily's dance recital but i just didn't feel like making the 2-hour drive. if someone would only invent transporters for real i'd have been there--but i'd also go to Florida more often!
i've already been shopping online! i'm a news junkie disgusted with cnn and headline news lately because there are long stretches when neither is showing breaking news, which is just wrong, so i ended up watching forensic files all evening. when they started repeating, i watched--twice--a tape of Celtic Woman A New Journey, a music performance that i had recorded from PBS, which features 4- and 5-part harmony on several songs, including "Somewhere Over The Rainbow", and decided i needed the dvd, so i found one on eBay. i had hoped to find the 1st season of Banacek on dvds while in Florida but didn't, and the second season of Mission:Impossible is released on Tuesday (O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!) so i've shopped but haven't ordered them yet. life is getting back to normal...that's depressing! i think i'll go for a walk.

here's a few more pictures.
here's kris and i having a send-off breakfast at perkin's with mom & dad while she tries to convince them to try the diet she is using. i try in vain to say "don't worry, be happy."
here's a picture of me, bud, and kris, and a picture of bud, miranda, and joyce, taken at the graduation party on saturday 19 may.

got home around 830p. my lawn mower guy greeted me before i got in the door, wanting to get paid for mowing while i was gone. took about a half hour for my kitties to come out and welcome me home. got my computer set back up 1st thing, back online by 930p. bee-ull (bill) is a bald guy who i travelled with, he got on in fort pierce and was going to toledo. i bought my tickets a month ago, bill bot his thursday, and he was dismayed to find he had to wait for a later bus, a layover of 5:25 at orlando, for example--perhaps the greyhound booking system thought the timely buses were full. he told the driver about his schedule and mine, and the driver got his changed: i saved him over 10 hours of wait time! after i get off the bus, bill says, he continues to columbus, then after a long wait, catching a bus to cincinnati, then after another long wait, riding another bus to toledo, arriving 8-ish tomorrow morning. apparently greyhound doesnt go from columbus directly to toledo. i asked bill earlier about shaving his head, because i can't imagine liking shaving so much that one chooses to shave about 4 times more area. he said yes he lathers his head up about once a week and it takes about an hour but sometimes he treats himself to a barber for a stropped razor shave which seems to last longer.
