Back to Ithaca

After a 14 hour flight and a 25 dollar taxi, I arrive to my sweet sweet Aurora abode only to find that my subtenants have completely trashed the place. I'm so angry I can't even write about it, but if I had to sum it up in 5 words, they would be "rotting compost in the kitchen."

My wonderful roommate has put me up at her parents house until I can get the house cleaned and aired out. The cleaners came today and the place is more or less back to normal (minus a precious handmade knife, a few glasses and a broken toilet seat), so I will be able to start unpacking tomorrow when my two other roommates move in.

Yikes, lesson learned. Not the best way to start off the year. I hope the rest of the year runs a bit smoother. Definitely missing Hawaii today.
