Day 162
Ping, ping, ping … ding, ping! I feel as if I’ve lived inside a pinball game this weekend! Back and forth and over here and over there and then back again and so on. Visiting is a LOT of work! So much so, that I’m looking forward to going home and relaxing! I’m also looking forward to going home and NOT eating! I/we ate a LOT this weekend. I’m also going home to collect my wits! I left them somewhere and I need them back!
I am at the end of my visit and it was so perfect I couldn’t have asked for a better one … except, of course, seeing the handful of people I really wanted to see but did not get to due to one reason or other. Our schedules did not allow it or I just couldn’t add one more thing to my days. I can only do so much! And, by this morning I had kind of hit the wall with visiting! Too emotional and just plain exhausting!
But, what I did was fun and will give me good memories to draw upon until my return (in a few months).
Maybe by then my house will be (mostly) done. I’ll have pictures sent by then via email and I’ll have pictures up on the walls, too! I’ll have seen Sam and Ted and hosted a few visitors. The calendar will be done and the fence will be up and the landscaping completed and pretty. LOTS to do when I get back! But I am recharged and ready.
In any case, this was a good battery recharger for me. I needed to surround myself with those I love and those that love me back. I needed some face time. I laughed. I cried. I laughed some more.
It was a good thing. And tonight was quiet and relaxing and I no longer am in the pinball machine. That, too, is a good thing!
