finishing up last minute things in town before the drive north: the plumber, the last episode of downton abbey (series 2 christmas special!), a last lunch with a school friend before departing.

and then, northward, home, all of these things, the beginning. my dad is still out of town on a hunting trip and so the house is a little quieter (though loud all the same, as it still contains my grandparents, mother, brother, and at this time of year, his girlfriend too.)

i've gotten behind here which i hate, but unfortunately i have been sick. pretty much par for the course that after a hellish and long semester of work i got sick almost immediately afterward. thankfully i think i'm past the worst of it now (it being several days after this entry now.)
