My guilty obsession, UK
I'm from Ireland, though I was plunked at a young age by my parents in the heart of Canada. Going back home for visits has been a regular indulgence for me over the decades. At first, l would stay with amazingly welcoming relatives or, when I was old enough to rent a car, in hotels hither and thither about the entirety of Ireland.

One Husband Too Many
He was late. Jake had fallen asleep before setting his alarm for 6:15 a.m. When he woke to find himself slumped in the recliner with the TV still blaring, he didn’t feel much like going to work. He had less of a hangover than usual but still wished he had some ‘hair of the dog’ on hand. He’d started his report on last night’s murder, but quickly realized he didn’t have enough information to move any further on it. He’d have to make a few stops today to get what he needed.

Work in Progress
Rosa had found a job in Toronto so had moved out, leaving a bedroom where Chloë had her privacy in the sprawling di Angelo home. Gary had wanted Luca to stay in their apartment until he’d found another roommate but, though he still was based at his shared accommodation with his long-time friend, Luca headed directly to the restaurant every day after finishing his shift. Carm had said he could reclaim his childhood bedroom as soon as he found a new home for all the restaurant stock that had replaced him when he had departed to room with Gary.

Face It
I'm old. Sadly, I'm very old. I'm older than, for many reasons, I'd ever thought I'd be. I don't know how it happened. One minute I was whining about how hard it was to get a job without years of experience then, seemingly moments later, I was bemoaning the reality of the senior citizen.
