Being in WI for Christmas was so deeply comforting and root nourishing. And now a visit to DC ought to provide the other injection of home right in the core. They are my 2 US homes -- after all -- one of my youth and one of my adulthood. And both keep my memories and my people and my touchstones. And being there brings me closer to who I am and feels just ... good.
And I wouldn't be me if I didn't blether on about Whole Foods (even to look!), Spices, Target and burritos a plenty! (why does it always come to that? I am a simpleton)
Among what may come, I am hopeful for:
- Teaism with the Babs U and Shinny
- Spicy Crunchy Time and soaking up life with Helena
- Regular lunch with Andy
- Walking Connecticut Avenue top to bottom
- Meeting Ben McD and seeing his cheery parents
- Filter coffee
- Meeting man friend of B's
- A US mobile
- Waking up on the Hill
- The red line
- Retrieving leftover belongings from various people's homes/shipping back art to the UK
- Moderate temperatures and likely blue skies
- People running up the escalators and down the escalators in true harried/hassled DC style
- Merry Mary J
- Ability to online order US things and get them at B's
- Incomprehensible cab drivers who charge nebulously by the zone
- Cleveland Park ease
- Buying Bumble & Bumble from Axis
- Possible Nail Avenue mani/pedi
- Eating a rueben that I didn't get in WI (Krupin's anyone?)
- Seeing my pals a plenty
- Seeing what's new in the capitol
- Prelude to 40th
