Nothing like heading home right before New Year’s to either get you excited or complete exhausted for the coming year.
I’m completely exhausted, but that’s more from getting up at 4 am eastern to sneak up on the airport when my body has refused to make the switch over from pacific time. I doubt I’ll be able to sleep on the plane, but it might be a possibility today.
We’re taking the long way home. Direct flights aren’t looking very direct these days, but at least we don’t have to get off the plane and we’ll be home early afternoon. I foresee some multi-hour splattage when I reach my own bed and pillow.
My TBR pile grew over Christmas. Got a couple new historical romances and several new books on craft of writing. I don’t have the complete list handy because what’s not stuffed in my backpack is being shipped home in a box. We helped out one of the indie bookstores here by picking up several books in addition to the ones that were gifts. So expect to hear more about these later.
I think the highlight of the visit, besides spending time with family, was getting to meet Valerie Bowman (@ValerieGBowman). We spent a love hour and a half at the Starbucks near our hotel and could have stayed and talked much longer. I’m looking forward to catching up with her again at RWA Nationals in July.
Need to post this before we board… love how technology makes this possible!
Happy New Year’s to everyone in case I sleep through it! =)
Welcome Back! Glad you had a wonderful time.
Thanks, Kimberly! I had a nice 3 hour or so nap this afternoon. Definitely needed that. Got home and found our TV that had been acting up before we left went on total strike. Probably going to buy 2 new ones in the next week. =P It’s ALWAYS something. At least DH got his game judging in while on vacation.
