I'm home again in PA, after a 15 hour and 15 minute drive. It really was not a bad drive at all -- I guess sitting in a nice car makes a big difference! Neither hubby nor I are all that worn out, even though we got up at 4 am, and left early. We stopped at intervals yet still made good time, and were home early enough that it wasn't bedtime yet.

Looks like I'll be hitting the ground running starting tomorrow, though. Don't you just hate it when vacations have to end so ubruptly? There's no time for an "afterglow." I was hoping for a quiet day tomorrow, to catch up with things slowly, but no such luck. I've got guests coming out of the woodwork, an unexpected staff meeting tomorrow, plus a departmental lunch (that'll be fun, anyway), emails from Pakistan to answer, and a poor lonely son who is following me about like he hasn't seen me in weeks. Which he hasn't. ;-)

Ah, well, koi baat nahi as they say in Pakistan -- or as Boromir might say, no matter! We'll see it done, and hopefully it will be relatively painless.

See you all tomorrow, if I can get a word in edgewise.

Glad you are home, safe and sound, my sweet.

*hugs you tight*

I'm more weary today than I was yesterday. It was probably good that I had a fairly active day today, though -- but I'm ready for a nap now. Too bad it's past nap time!

welcome home, sweeting, and I'm sure Nathan was glad to see you both. He's had a couple long weeks! :-) and nice too, to have a really reliable car now when you need it.
(((hugs))))

Nathan is being allowed to loaf today, since he had to work so hard while we had a vacation. :-D He's very happy we are back!

Have fun tonight -- hope you had a good day!

I know what you mean about vacations ending. I hope you get at least a little peace and quiet. (((Lin))).

It's not been too bad, though I haven't had all my time to myself yet. I've got a new Sean Bean film on DVD I'm dying to watch, and can't find a minute for it! ;-)
