We're back!

We arrived safely home last night. Our flight from Sydney was late arriving, so we missed our connection home and had to wait around the airport for many hours. My ears didn't pop well the first landing due to the head cold, but all is well and it wasn't excruciatingly painful. Our Tuesday spanned two days, two continents and the Pacific Ocean, but at the end we were greeted by the beautiful face of sbloss and the fresh Eugene air. I know it sounds crazy, but after two months of poor to no sleep each night, a virus and the myriad other things that have oppressed me and made me so dead tired that I was virtually nodding off as I walked from one terminal to the other in SFO, I immediately perked right up as soon as I neared the airplane door. By the time I hit the parking lot with my bags in hand, I was ready to keep going for the rest of the evening.

I returned home to a huge puppy greeting, a Flex greeting, and then special visits from dreadygoddess & naudiz. Today, I saw Trish and Skyleigh andpjack. I love my Tribe! *swoon*

I spent the morning tackling the house. This is a project to be continued over the next few weeks. There is so much to put to order. I'm also taking this opportunity to really make a clean sweep of everything. I've been gone 8.5 months. I plan to toss every staple in the kitchen cupboards, wash it all out and buy fresh goods. I'm hoping to hit my closet soon, too. I feel like I want to touch every nook and cranny of this house. I guess that's how I scent mark.

Last night was the first full night of sleep I've had in months. I love being home.

I may need a week or two. This house is a disaster. I've returned to find an infestation of mice and moths. I'm having to clean the house with a fine tooth comb. I spent all day today volleying between scrubbing and discarding most things in the kitchen cupboards and emptying our bedroom closet completely and washing everything in hot water to kill all the eggs and clean the turds. Gah!
