memory lane

I am sitting at a large, wooden table. My laptop rests on the surface of this table. The following items surround my laptop: A broken smoke detector, a half-filled bottle of Sriracha, 8 plastic storage cups of unopened barbeque sauce, an empty Corona, a mug with silverware resting inside, half an iPhone charger, a family sized bag of Cripsy M&Ms, a plastic bag, a glasses case, and various scraps of trash, napkins, masks, and who knows what.

I’m in St. Louis visiting my brother and staying in his apartment. I forgot that not so long ago (well, 6 years…) I also lived like this. It’s great to be back.
