Home Again, Home Again...at least for a week or so

Possible Wise Saying of the Day: "I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I intended to be." Douglas Adams

I haven't written in a long time because we've been traveling for over a month. Being gone so long is a big deal to most families: there's a lot of disruption that comes with abandoning one's dwelling. In our lives we not only have a school-aged daughter, but a largish, brainless, dog, a cat and several plants in various stages of death.

My daughter has logged 12,000 miles since summer and will put in another thousand over Christmas.

This is not remarkable for her; she's very easy-going, unlike her mother, and will "tag along" on most adventures if there is a Starbuck's to be had.

I, however, have been a different story. It's been a long process of healing and overcoming that allowed me to be away from my safe place...and my toilet.

Today isn't the day for that story.

But we are home for a few days and we're glad for it.
