Vacation is over. Sad. In the airport yesterday, I finally had internet again (hadn't really missed it much) and checked email. Immediately, I felt the stress in my chest. I have to call lawyer and Peggy and call Tim back. I haven't even listened to Tim's email; how did I fall into this life of denial and avoidance??
Picked up Lacy and headed home to the packing mess that had been left. Trip went too fast. Next time, add the hotel package so you can lounge on the beach!  Plus,I was just getting over the cruise learning curve. Then I had to work the next day. Thought about cancelling the assignment but want the $ and no school tomorrow for Roseville and Maplewood.
Lacy was so freaked out when I picked her up. They couldn't get her (there was a platform that made it easy for her to squeeze into a corner and not be reached) and had me go back. She was hissing at me and was so scared. I had to grab her by the scruff of her neck and pull her down. I felt terrible.
Left 70 degree weather to return to 20's-30's. Not as depressing as it should be, so I guess that's a good thing. Had some concerns about returning from a nice vacation, as things were bad last time.
