Home again home again

So I'm back from Boston after 10 days. It was an alright visit. I spent time with friends and family, although sometimes too much with family and not enough with friends. But it's all good. Gifts were given and received, and overall a good time was had, with good food to boot.

The diet was definitely off for the visit. I had lots of cake and pie and chocolate and stuffed myself silly. I did some shopping for presents, but got myself some too since there's no tax on clothes in Mass. I also continued my knitting lesson from last year, and hope to actually keep it up this year.

The trip home was the biggest adventure! I arrived late because waking at 4 was not quite early enough, and even though I had checked in online, I couldn't get to a machine in time. Some lady who didn't know what to do was just standing in front of a machine like a dope and held several of us up until we weren't allowed to check in on the machines anymore.  Then I had to go over to special services where there was also a line, which was moving incredibly slowly. Fifteen minutes before my flight was to take off I finally got my bag checked. I ran to security, pulling off my coat and boots, seriously breaking a nail way under the nail line while pulling my laptop out of my bag. Bleeding, I had to then take off my belt before going through. Then my purse had to be put through again. Sigh. Finally, carrying my clothes and my belt and all my stuff I ran to the gate and just barely made it on plane. And thankfully my bag actually made it on the plane too. the travel fairies were watching over me it seems.

So I'm back home.  I did have some ants find some chocolate, so I've been busy killing them and gaining back the sleep I lost by waking at 4.  Now I have to start straightening out my apartment so that it doesn't look like I just moved in.  But I'm glad to be back, and enjoying the L&O:CSI marathon on TV.
