Home, for the weekend, then back next week.
There are mountains here, but I haven’t seen them close.

I’m also happy to finally not be in the company of the coworker who calls me honey and cutie and repeatedly touches me just a bit more than I would consider appropriate.

And yet, she is highly competent and actually good to have along on the trip. If she only would be a little more professional and respected boundaries just a tad more.
