We are back in the Blue Ridge mountains - it was an uneventful, boring 12 hours of airport / airplane drive, then a late night drive home since I just wanted to wake up in my own bed. Between the driving energy and the time difference, I didn't get to sleep 'til 4 am, and was up at 10:30 so I am having a hard time getting in motion this morning. I have everything out of the suitcases at least, and a plan to get through some errands and the resettling today.
I gotta say, coming home to Elsewhere is always great. I was amused this trip to find a men's electric shaver charging on the counter, next to a three foot edged sword (note: edged but not sharp, it's a dancer's sword). The shaver belongs to the new roommate and the sword to the old one - it was just an interesting juxtaposition. Kiska and Chewbacca-the-cat have met. It went well-ish - the cat ran and she chased him, but there was no aggression on either part. She seems glad to be home too, and is eating one of Raven's rawhides.
RoommateHeather loves me enough to climb out of bed when I called late last night and plug in my electric space heater. Thank goodness, since my wing of the house has been closed off for the last month and was still chilly, despite two hours of pre-heating. I think I may need an electric blanket if I am going to keep from freezing to death... Maybe after I get my errands run today I will go find one.
