Actually we've been back for a few days. Towards the end of the trip we were in a hurry to get out of some of the excruciatingly hot states and back home to our moderately hot one. We arrived home Wednesday evening and have ended our vacation with a little staycation. We told very few people we were home and spent the days snuggling our pets and working out at the gym. Three weeks in a car has done its damage and I'll be spending most of this week there as well.
Tomorrow is b's first day back at work. He's been out for 7 weeks. We have spent every minute of the last 3 1/2 weeks together and it has been amazingly wonderful. He is my perfect companion and I can't imagine ever not wanting to spend all my time with him. I'm not quite sure what I'll do without him during the days. Actually I know exactly what I'll do. In addition to working out, I have to finish prepping classes, get some administrative work done, write a chapter and send out an article. Luckily that can all be done from home. Unfortunately the following week is "welcome back meetings from hell" week.
My entire life I've always enjoyed vacations but have been ready to get back to work once they are over. This year feels very different. There are a number of reasons but the gloom and doom emails I've been receiving on the state of our budget and the amount of work we are expected to do this year is certainly not helping.
On a brighter note, I'll leave you with a brief video I put together of our road trip.
