back on the chain gang

I'm home. Thea's been deposited, has aspirin, acetaminophen, caffeine. If she has another migraine, she's ready...

I had time with my kids, parents, sister and BIL. And of course, frozen yogurt, even a mocha chip shake... It was a good break!

Not even getting to mornings at my fave coffee house... Fruit and walnut bran muffin along with a de-lish latte and editing... It felt so decadent! Even slept pretty well, but I'm glad to be home with Bob and Jay. He's watching Repo Man, she's studying for her last final, math... I'm glad he was able to jump-start my aging iPod, which decided not to work on the drive home. It's from 2004, and if I can see it through September, I'll be thrilled. Especially since my laptop's been...

Dodgy. Not wanting to shut down, throwing a hissy today when I tried to open a Word document. We're wondering if last month's breakdown was indicative of bigger problems. It's limping along, as is the iPod, and it will be a matter of seeing which one holds out the longest.

But at least loved ones are in one piece.

So, there's my story. Not too exciting, which is just how I like it. Let the guys in Repo Man have all the action. I'm happy to just chill out, maybe eat a chocolate chip cookie, some ice cream on the side.

Back to work tomorrow; editing The Road Home, so far so good. Plus there's two days of housework to sort, linens to wash. Jay ran the dishwasher while I was gone, but the things a mum sees, more than her eyes catch. Which is fine. Then, it's officially summertime, and after the angst of spring, I'm hoping for a long, lazy, QUIET season...
