back in the old digs

i recently just wrapped up a 9 day gig of house sitting.
 
the way i'm writing it, it sounds like i went on a world tour or something.  not exactly.  all i experienced was the joy of peace and quiet in a house all to myself.  and a dog.  and an assortment of fishies.
 
as compared to "home" with 2 cousins running amok 24/7 and asking inane questions a million different ways but all leading back to the same one.  had i the choice, i think living with a furry beast versus 2 that act like beasts would be the better alternative.
 
then again, i may just be saying that because they've wiped out my reserved patience.  i think all i truly needed was a vaca, and that short stint helped.  i'm recharged now.
 
 
 
besides, summer break's halfway done for them anywho.
 
 
 
i can't wait for the start of the next academic year.
