  • Opening The Door, Part I.

    This, friends, is what you get when you put "flip-flop, footwear" into WikiCommons image search. Thankfully I did not find this person in my home when I opened the door.

    There’s much more I want to say about what I found when I entered my condo on Thursday for the first time in a year-and-a-half. For now, a list of things left behind by the tenants who lived in my condo while I was out of town:

    1. One pair dusty flip-flops (women’s)
    2. A nice collection of dishwashing detergents
    3. Blowdryer (unisex)
    4. IKEA comforter, sheets, pillowcases
    5. A bunch of medical textbooks, including “The Human Brain Coloring Book” (it sounds a lot cooler than it turned out to be)
    6. Guides of things to do in Chicago
    7. Dust bunnies the size of flip-flops (men’s)
    8. English toffee from Trader Joe’s (probably intentional, tasted fresh)
    9. Small screwdriver (in bathroom)

    and, among a few other things:

    10. Good vibes
