La la la - Alaska!

[theatokos]

While I am still in jammies, unwashed and doing laundry at nearly 11 AM, I rejoice in knowing that tonight I sleep in Alaska. Tomorrow I'm up early to meet my father for breakfast. Just him and me. I cannot remember the last time we spent just the two of us. I expect it to be awkward in chunks. Yet, he seemed like he was looking forward to it, so that bodes well. One can never be sure what mood my father will be in and if it's grey - look out! But when he's easy going he can be really fun in that dorky dad kind of way. Just no bringing up gay ex-lovers or transgendered anything or any of the other "weird" stuff going on in my life. I'm sure we'll be sticking to plans: wedding plans, saving plans, PhD plans, etc.

I also realize that upon my return hrafntinna (the Icelandic Scholar) will no longer be here. She will be galavanting all over Scandinavia, finally to land in Ohio, ready to wow the undergrads with her sexy fish nets and sparkling brilliance. Bon voyage!
