Back in the USA

Home last evening after SUCH a long trip home. Packed planes on long trips home are not fun.

When we arrived at Ohare, we were picked up by Linda and Bill and whisked to their house to dinner with Patty and John. Bill made us welcome home manhattans which set the relax mood in high gear. We really hadn’t slept on the plane much or well. The drug induced, alcohol aided sleep does not count for good sleep. Sitting up sleeping is not restful to me. So, when we got to Linda and Bill’s both of us were ready to relax.

It was so nice to be back from the trip. The trip was good/bad and sometimes wonderful. One might think getting cameras stolen was all bad and don’t get me wrong, it is really bad. But it meant that our carry on bags met the limits this time.

I took a shower before dinner and during dinner Linda suggested that maybe to be more comfy, I might put my pj’s on. So I pattered to the bedroom to change and made the mistake of sitting down on the bed. That is the last I remember. I guess I must have melted into the covers and drifted off. I never said good night, never finished my dinner, never said thank you for the care and love in taking care of us. This morning I actually felt like a person. I guess I snored and snorted all through the night and Keith did not sleep well.

We plan to drive back to Kentucky tomorrow when we will hope to be more rested and ready. I am looking forward to being back with our kitties and sleep in our own bed and stand for a long shower in our own bathroom. I will also spend quite a lot of time disinfecting our gross clothing from the trip. Mine suitcase is a world of germs and stinky clothes.

We will also spend some time working with our insurance agent on the claim for the camera equipment stolen. I hope our policy is good to us, but today I cannot remember much about deductibles or what it says about theft.

I am also hoping that the boxes of stuff we shipped home have arrived. I am hoping that all is well with the house.

None of this is very comprehensive, I am afraid. I guess that is a reflection of how my brain is working right now.
