Upon returning to civilization...
Today was my first day back in Bethesda after my trip to see Ms. NYC Rouge. I managed to unpack, put away laundry (that had been sitting out since before I left), edit a strategy paper aimed at making the United States energy independent, set up a date with a boy for next weekend, catch up on my email, download the photos I took in NY, and begin a new Big Idea proposal. And now, at just 10 minutes after midnight, I feel quite justified in setting everything aside and picking up a book.
And yet, I find myself missing the simple joys of Brooklyn. For example, I bet that Ms. Rouge is surrounded by funny women right now, while I find myself pajama-clad with two cats wandering around my lap. And even though my bed looks rather inviting (especially with the clean sheets I managed to procure from the dryer), I'm sad not to be within arms reach of Ms. Rouge's cable television offerings. Oh, so very sad. How will I cope without my daily dose of The Daily Show?
On the other hand, being back home is nice in ways that I forgot--such as the supply of exotic tea I had neglected in the corner cabinet. Yum, Numi Rainforest Green Mate Lemon Myrtle Green Tea. And how could I fail to recognize the joys of flannel pajama bottoms, complete with unseasonal reindeer? Especially when those pajamas are donned immediately after a morning shower, because there is no reason to leave the house in proper attire?
So I guess it's a toss-up. But certainly, I will be revisiting Ms. Rouge sooner rather than later. After all, I am her best lesbian good luck charm, and I might need to polish up my souffle skills with another round of baking.
