HOME, HOT (AND DIRTY!) HOME. After 12 hours on various modes of public transportation and a quick stop at a large grocery store to pick up a two-week supply of 0% (fat/sugar) yogurt and other things, I arrived home to my stuffy, hot apartment in which everything was covered with a layer of dirt. Not dust...dirt. There is also erratic water availability so managed to get enough to do some laundry from my two weeks of travel (wearing only several articles of clothing repeatedly). Am laying low today after going to the post office (thanks Ed and Martha for filling up the mailbox!) and will soon see what, if anything, has transpired at the neddy on the boutique preparations in my absence. Since I read three books during my trip, it's time to watch a few movies...
