The good news: -Zacharias is the best friend I have ever had. This deserves re-iteration to the point of obnoxiousness. -Meatball didn't destroy my tattoo parlor during my unintended extended absence. -I am back in London and no longer being held hostage by surrounded by crazy family members.
The bad news: -The weather is thirty degrees colder than I have become accustomed to and it is ridiculously uncomfortable.
The bad news is offset by the fact that I am now here in London to complain about the weather.
