I got home a couple of hours ago and I cannot tell you how good it feels to be here and how hard it is to be away from my dad. Isn't that the way it works? Nothing is ever perfect. I feel so strange, like I've been on some long far away journey and am having a little difficulty acclimating to it all. It's an example of one of those times in your life when and where everything changed, shifted, and will never be the same and it changed while you blinked, while you looked away, and you can't exactly adjust to it in a snap, like part of you is still a few steps behind and everything moved ahead without you realizing. I don't know how to word it. But, at least I'M HOME!
My family welcomed me with the laundry done and the house clean, so I should be able to jump back into things here tonight and tomorrow. I do have to pay some bills, do our taxes, and on the drive home today we decided this weekend would be a good one to replace our wood fence and have a fence building party for my mom-in-law's bday. So, I won't be back in like gangbusters, but I'm on my way. Hope to list on Etsy early next week and start work on some new pieces tonight.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU . . . . really, THANK YOU for all of your support and encouraging words and love and friendship. YOU saw me through this little detour in life and I am stronger for it. I love you all and I know you will help me get through the next one in a few weeks.

Woooooohoooooo you're hommmmmmme! I know that feeling, when everything seems just a little surreal upon return. Hope your flight back was good. You sound happy so maybe the plane had fairy wings and gave you a nice smooth delivery home. :)

Welcome back! So glad that you are home safe and sound.
I've had a few of those everything-changed-while-I-blinked detours. Be kind to yourself - they are more taxing than you realize.
Nice to see you are back! Good to settle into the comfort of your own home routine. You've had a very stressful time. Happy fence building:)

I'm so glad you're back. I didn't realize reading your blog had become part of my daily routine--until you weren't there! So I'm glad you're back.
