averygoodun42 | I got the home-from-vacation blues...

Babe has been irritating me something fierce. I know it's just that I'm tired and, well, slightly disappointed to be home, but... ach well.

It is good to be home, however, it is slightly more bittersweet than I expected. I didn't realize how much I missed the horizon till I saw it again. Or the big sky. Or the dry air. Yeah, dry air makes for lots of dust which isn't exactly great for my allergies, but...

Babe started coughing again today. Even I felt the humidity in my chest. It's horrible.

However, there are some things to look forward to here. First of all, Babe WILL be going to preschool this Fall. He decided that using the potty was the way to go the day after we got to Colorado! Odd timing, but hey, who am I to complain? We went out to Toys'R'Us today and got his reward (a slightly motorized digger).

Another thing to look forward to is my new kitchen. It's actually going to happen! My Grampa's inheritance finally cleared, and my parents wrote a check out to each of us kids. It's not a huge load of money, but it makes a modest kitchen renovation possible. Tomorrow starts the serious shopping around. Fortunately, all the previous window shopping I've been doing won't go to waste, as I pretty much know what I want and where the best prices are now. Whee!

And yet more things to look forward to are painting and Reiki and church. Probably in that order. The kitchen is going to take up a lot of time and energy, so I don't know that I'll be doing the former two anytime soon, and church doesn't start till late August...

Anyway, it is good to be back home. It's just sad that I wish 'home' were further west.

Oh, and I've written out my travel post, although I won't post it till I've downloaded and sorted through my photos. I expect that will happen tomorrow. =)
