It's (Not Quite) the End of the World as We Know It

It was a dark day yesterday, both figuratively (best friend saying goodbye at 5:30am and then disappearing into the night) and literally (when I next awoke I could not tell what time of night or day it might be, the sky was so dark and pouring rain...)



Eventually though, the clouds thinned, I rolled out of bed at about 4:30pm (spring breeeak, woo?), and proceeded to try and make the best of things. Once I got some jams going on my R2D2 tape player (no, that's not a purse, I just WISH) things didn't seem quite so apocalyptic anymore.



Added bonus, this blouse is covered in tiny little bow-ties! Definitely smile inducing.

It was three months since I last saw my bestie, and it'll be another three months till I see her, and my homeland, again. Not so bad, eh? After all, I've made it this far...

P.S. I just want to say thanks so much for all the sweet compliments concerning the general pleasing-ness of my blog that have been popping up in the comments lately. Y'all are too kind, and I absolutely promise to keep on keepin' it classy, just for you!
