 Home! Yay!
We got in late Monday night, after a detour to Fort Wayne, Indiana when we couldn't land at O'Hare. The trip home was pretty much airline hell, but it's good to know that I could survive for many, many hours on pretzels and small cups of diet coke if I had to.
Yesterday was decompression day; I knew we would both need a little time to recover from the trip, so we didn't go back to work until today. This was a good move. I'm housesitting for a couple of days, so we hung out in the pool and did laundry and relaxed. All pajamas, all the time. I don't know why I even own real clothes.
The trip kicked my butt; I don't know why I find it hard to be with my family. They're good people and they do love me, but my neck just tenses up and doesn't release until I'm back in California airspace. I'm like this weird satellite that slams back into the home planet every year or so. I felt so klutzy and inept, like I was smashing through everyone else's lives when I didn't have a right to be there.
The tangible stuff that grounds me - my friends, St. Ned's, skool, the apartment, and the kitty - is all back here in California, and I guess I'm not at the point where I can hold on to it when I'm away. I was ok while I had Dennis with me, but then he went to Bonnaroo and I started feeling all floaty again.
It's good to be home.
