I'm Back

Got the stuff out of the room and checked out. Went looking for lunch, but the restaurant that I wanted to go to opened at noon. Bah. A local fast-food place was open, so I had a couple of corn dogs and some really good ice cream. It's very peaceful here.

Got on the road. It was a long way to the first rest stop. My neck was killing me. As soon as I stopped, I started rolling my head.

I'm back. The girls gave me the once-over. They liked the pet sitter though. Note to MDOT: why do you have both 696 and Telegraph under construction? There's no good way to avoid the construction. Bah.

The house was hot. I turned on the a/c. Boy, the bathroom is gross. I didn't get a chance to clean it before I left.

I was looking at cruises for next year. I realized with a thud that I won't have anyone to celebrate Christmas with. But that is true of this year too. There's a cruise next year that stops at St. Lucia, which I really want to see, and the one that I'm looking at stops in St. Lucia on my birthday, so I'm taking that as I'm fated to go on that cruise. I gave "Vacations To Go" my phone number. I put down a deposit on the cruise. Now it's nap time. No, it's too hot upstairs to sleep. Not sure what to do.

Zara is perched on my lap.

I'm mulling over how to get the loveseat out of the "plant room," and I'll need to get the dining room cleaned out. Oh, my piano teacher responded to my message, and she said to play a bunch of pianos to find the one that draws me in.

I took my nighttime meds. I think that I'll be able to sleep after I get the stuff upstairs. At least I just have to work tomorrow, and then it'll be the weekend.
