had a bad day

Back in CT. Drove Route 66 today through Virginia and the breathtaking Shenandoah Valley (after flat Florida, the curves and hills were a welcome relief). Gorgeous day. But didn't change the fact that I left some library books (and Moby Dick!) back in Florida, my sister trashed my bedroom, and my grandparents have not been the best road companions, to say the least.

Grr.

But one of my student loans has been mysteriously paid off. Normally, I'd be elated. But honestly, right now, I'm only a little less unhappy.
