tick tock goes the clock

time moves so slowly when we're apart. from the hustle and bustle of keeping up with a "schedule", my day has come to a creeping halt. there's no one home to keep me company and the internet's whacked too. i didn't feel like painting today so i won't force it.

so to pass the time, i hung out at my grandparents house all afternoon. my nono looks well. he's eating and sitting and chatting. he hadn't been well in a long time so this was a vast improvement from the state he was in three weeks ago. we had a good time talking about how to cook risotto and my best childhood memories in their old house in manila. my nona came in and out of the room bringing treats for us. twix bars, cassava cake, fresh orange juice and we gamely snacked to our hearts content.

i love this house and all the good things it makes me feel when i'm sad. this morning, as i dropped stan off at the airport, i was teetering feeling bad about him missing our anniversary. but now i feel better.
