Daunting and fabulous

Next to last city. Since a week ago today I have been in:

  • Huntsville, Alabama
  • Atlanta, Georgia
  • Detroit, Michigan
  • Minneapolis, Minnesota (technically Eden Prairie and St. Paul but who’s counting?)
  • Denver, Colorado
  • Fort Collins, Colorado

I remain here until Saturday afternoon, when we’ll switch back to Denver one last time. I fly home Sunday.

Everything intended has been done. 4x4 and Spitty are married. Class has been taught. Deep-dish pie accomplished with Dan and Stephanie. Shopping with jowilson done. Ethiopian food with all of the Minnesota folk. Drupal library meetup in Denver. There’s more left to do, but all in due time.

I am the kind of tired that comes from too many timezones in too few days, of too many days of waking up and needing those first few moments of wakefulness to decipher where I awakened this time. The pull of home now is insistent. Jeff is Over There. My home, my clothing, my cats, my bed, my space — Over There.  World, I have seen your airports and behold, I wish to be home with my engineer and my furbrats.

Tea helps.

The photoset from 4x4 and Spitty’s wedding is done.

…and one that says it all, a photo from Chris that I can’t put in my furlough set since I don’t own it:

And just like that...
