Ah! Home! I love coming home from vacation–it's one of my favorite things about going away! It took a bit of doing to get home this time, like three flights and 19 hours of travel. Somewhere along the line, I picked up a nice little cold bug in Hawaii, and it has flourished in the hours of dry plane air, little sleep, and indifferent hydration that goes along with travelling. Oh well, a small price to pay for paradise? The paradise of being home, DEFINITELY!
The kitties are super-happy that we are home, although it took a while for Emma to decide to come around and speak to us again last night. But then she just couldn't help herself, and sat purring on Chad's lap for over an hour. Ada took no such cajoling. She was all rolling over, showing us her belly, saying, "Hey guys! Did you go somewhere??" She's a little bit clueless. HUGE thanks to Linda for looking in on them. We've never seen them so well-adjusted after leaving them for a while! They must really love her! And really, who WOULDN'T? Dr. Myles is still hanging out with Jordan. I will be picking him up today!
So this morning I am trying to remember that it is December now. You know, Christmas. And I'm feeling behind on things, and I don't care at all. We won't be able to get our tree until Sunday, which is a WEEK late for us, and I can't face the thought of schlepping box after box up the basement stairs for other decorating. So, I will go slowly this year and see what happens. Maybe I will even like it better!
On a sad note, Chad's grandmother, Mabel, passed away last Sunday in Michigan. She was in her 90s, so it was not unexpected. While this is sobering news, I am glad that we will be having a mini Voller reunion this weekend. We're travelling to the funeral with Kirk and Missy ( it's SO GREAT that they're as close as Pittsburgh!)
And that's it, in a nutshell.
I don't have my HI pictures uploaded to my desktop yet, so no pics today. Besides, I'm enjoying looking at the snow out my window.
Cheers!
