211101, 2348hr, illinois time.

i'm back! and i'm terribly tired, driving nonstop for 5 hours to get back here on campus. [of course, mt rushmore isn't only 5 hours away - it's actually 18 hours away, we took 1.5 days in all to come back.] but i took the final stretch today back to campus. it was supposed to be me and alvin sharing that, but alvin's down with sore throat/flu/headache/whatever, so i did the whole stretch. that idiot was very insecure and discontented being a passenger, so i didn't quite dare make rest stops, knowing that he would probably try to get the keys from me to drive. the things i do for my stubborn boy.

anyhow, maybe more about the trip tomorrow. i'm tired. just decided to drop a quick note here, while he's taking a shower. i'm supposed to be watching a VCD with him tonight. i know i'll fall asleep halfway, but what the heck. i'm already safely home, where the bed is near.

by the way, i'm very disappointed. i just checked all my emails. lots of junk. where are my darling personal email people? very hurt. nobody thought of me while i was away. sob. what a blow to my email queen ego.
