each man for himself

I feel like I owe you all an entry about my weekend and my trip to Michigan. And the trip itself was good, and I do want to tell you about it, but I had such an absolutely horrible, emotionally draining experience coming back into Canada yesterday that I just can't write the entry yet. I need to, not block it from my memory, because I doubt I'll ever forget it, but I don't know, dull it a little first, get some distance. That might sound a little overdramatic or something, but I guess the simplest thing I can say is that I'm just not ready to write about it, and I will when I am.

Until then, the actual being-in-Michigan-seeing-my-family part was really good, and I'm glad I had the chance to see everyone, especially my mom and my half-brothers. I have a bunch of pictures that I need to upload and post, which I'll probably do tomorrow night or Thursday. And the important thing is that I was eventually able to come back into Canada, and I'm home now, safe and sound. Very grateful to be here, to sleep in my own bed and get clean in my own shower, but mostly, just to be here in my home with my husband and my kitty.

Off to start playing catch up on your entries from the weekend. I'll post an entry with all the gory details sometime soon, I'm sure.
