Back to Reality

Good morning!

Wow, thanks for writing so much while we were of touch; I feel awful in that I had complete access to a computer and could have blogged all day, every day, or even checked in, for that matter. But having read your comment that sunbathing is your summer job, (hilarious!) I think you'll understand that I was in a place where the temp was over 85 and the sun was out all the time. Going into the house for anything more time-consuming than refilling a beverage or peeing was just out of the question.

We got home Tuesday night around dinner time and yesterday I felt like a deflated balloon all day. I did get a few necessary errands done (grocery shopping) and some laundry, but apart from that, I was in total VRM (Vacation Recovery Mode). I even had to take a nap; all that running around doing things about killed me.

Today I am up and running, literally. After a moment here to say hello, I'm meeting K for a run and coffee. More errands later, then my garden needs serious attention. Unlike southern California, it is not 85 degrees here, nor is the sun anywhere to be seen. Unfortunately, I have no excuse to lounge around on the deck.

Glad to hear you've had such a good couple of weeks. You asked if three weeks was enough down time...hello! If it's not, I'm in trouble! I can't wait for your visit - I've been so looking forward to it. Hopefully the sun will be back by then and we can enjoy some more summer work :-)

More later,
Love, A

P.S. We had an awesome trip, start to finish.
