I think I should feel lonely. Or homesick.

I haven’t left the house at all today.

But I’m feeling calm and happy and a little drunk (okay, so I started drinking prosecco at around 11am today…) and I’m happy to be where I am, alone. I think some people are afraid to be alone. Or bored, or anxious, or whatever. But I love being alone. Just me and my thoughts, and the sound of the water lapping at the dock, and the gondolieres playing accordion past the gate. Prof Taha and his family have been in Verona all day, and I’ve been alone. I feel a little awkward that I haven’t been lonely, but I’ve reveled in my aloneness.

I think I may be the only person in the world who likes traveling alone.

I may go to Billa today. I need more stuff for lunch and dinner – I’m tired of leftover pasta. (3 days/6 meals in a row as of today)

And I need to go to Nico’s for gelato – I only have a couple weeks to finish my goal of trying all the flavors and I’ve only tried 2. I had limone at another gelateria but (honestly) it wasn’t as good. It was bitter and grainy. I want to try nocciola, which is similar to nutella at home. O.M.G. nutella flavored gelato.

Okay.

Time to leave the house.
