Nice things about coming home from a weeklong trip

In roughly chronological order:

How excited your dog is to see you

Catching a rare, fleeting sniff of what your own residence smells like

Sliding on a well worn pair of shoes from before, your pre-trip life, to retrieve the mail

Being on your own wifi network again

Realizing it started raining and stepping out on the balcony to inspect the way the rain generally feels pleasantly different here; raindrops that are tinier and gentler

Enjoying an expanded selection of clothing (namely, the sleeping shirt you forgot to pack for your trip)

Slipping under the covers of your own bed again
