Home is a nice place to visit

I have been needing to get my eyes checked (yearly contacts exam, fun times), my eyes are really dry and my contact are about a month overdue to be changed, but my eye doctor is in Oregon and this is the first chance I have had to come home when there was an available appointment, so I drove down early this morning...thanks to the cats, who still believe that 5:15 am is the appropriate time to play "Wake the human." Punks. As money is particularly scarce this month, my dad kindly lent (lended?) me some money and filled my car with gas. So sweet of him....
