Things that are wonderful about home:

• Walking around the house looking like Bellatrix Lestrange fresh out of Azkaban and not feeling obliged to appear otherwise
  
• Practicing calligraphy without having to clear the contents of my desk onto the floor nor Swiffer the tile in order to find workable space
• Waking up to find a cat curled in the niche of my bent arm
• Hugging the coastline along the harbor while driving
• Starbucks twice a day, just because I can
• "Welcome Home" signs from Keira hidden all around my room
• Being with my favorite women in the world
• Erin pretending to grudgingly try on her prom dress eight million times while knowing she relishes each modeling session
• Spending time with old friends
• Singing and not wearing flip flops in the shower
• Tea and Irish soda bread
• Feeling like I belong somewhere
