It's always very sad to say "farvel" to Bedstemor and I always look forward to my next visit, but I am glad to be home and to have had a good night's sleep in my own bed, beside my husband, with my dog on the floor beside me.

After a long, annoying flight (kid who would not stop drumming/kicking the back of my seat and whose mom could not say "no" to him more than twice; each time he would whine for something the third time, she would give it to him) and the airline losing my baggage, I'm home! I'm waiting for them to deliver my baggage to me, but fortunately I had put some of my clean laundry in my dad's suitcase (to help him cushion a big bottle of mead), so I'm not without underwear.

I'm still exhausted and sore today, so I'm just going to take it easy and maybe do some light cleaning around the house. The swelling in my feet went away, but I had some terrible Charley Horses in each calf last night and my calves are still sore from them this morning.

The house looks mostly great! It just needs a good sweeping, a bit of a dusting, and the counter tops need to be cleaned; I already shined my sink this morning! The yard looks incredible because Carl paid some guys to mow it who happened to already be working in the neighborhood, but they also weed whacked and edged everything.

During breakfast I took care of all the bills and mail that had built up while I was gone, since Carl's not much of a house wife and didn't open any of it. :)

Happily, the pool is still blue! All I'll need to do to it is add more water, slightly adjust the chemicals, clean the filter basket, and backwash the pump.

Conrad, of course, was thrilled beyond belief to see me and, according to Carl, is now able to relax for the first time since Carl got back. The cats are cats, but a couple of them seem to have noticed that I was gone. The ferrets are always happy to see anyone who seems likely to let them out for play time.

Our baby was moving very vigorously last night when I finally got a chance to lay down for the first time since I woke up at four in the morning in Denmark (their time), so Carl finally got to really see how active our baby can be; he seemed sufficiently impressed and amazed. I have an appointment with Esther for ten-forty-five on Tuesday; if anyone would like to join me for some mi doson at the Doson Noodle House afterward, let me know and we can try to make arrangements.
