So guess what I walk into when I get home from Toronto after a 6:50 AM flight?
Everything is pilled into boxes. I can’t sleep in my bed because it’s covered in junk, and I can’t find anything that belongs to me.
There are painters in my house, and apparently we KNOW that they are stealing from us. My mom bought a closed rice cooker, and later found a knife slit along the side. When she went to open it up, there was kitty litter inside.
What a way to return home. Especially when I have to teach tomorrow. I mean, talk about the worst way to welcome someone off of a plane.
Now I’m staying at my boyfriend’s parents place, who were kind enough to let me stay here for however long I want.
Needless to say, I need some kind of treat to get me through this. And while this cookie didn’t solve much, it made me forget for a quick second how despairing I felt when I returned home.
Continuing with my peanut butter obsession. These cookies won’t last long. Trust me.
