Things that are slapping me right back into reality:
- I missed 2 spots with the sunblock--the end of my nose and the space between my eyebrows. I look like a prehistoric Rudolph.
- It is raining, windy, and freezing cold here.
- The heating is not currently working at my house, so I'm huddled at the computer wearing many layers. Am pondering adding newspaper sheets to the layers, because I hear paper is a good conductor.
- I have no groceries and don't want to go out in the cold and rain to buy some. Have been eating Spanish chocolate for breakfast.
- The load of dirty dishes that I left in the sink are still there, because I guess the dish fairies didn't come.
- I now have so much coursework staring me in the face that I may just build a fire out of furniture legs to warm my self and climb back into bed.
Only here are the bright spots:
- I did have a great vacation.
- My little brother (cbh) got his mission call to the Dominican Republic, so he'll be spending the next 2 years in a tropical paradise, even though he'll be wearing a tie for most of it . . .
- WR met us at the airport, only laughed a little bit at my red monobrow (or possibly just the comparison of a golden-brown Goldilocks next to candy-cane moi) and brought me a fleecy pullover to wear, on account of it was 38 degrees outside.
- I just got an email telling me how to fix the heating problem. So I'm off to do that.
Until I can post more pictures and stories and stuff, here's one I took of my favorite new beach, Playa Amadores.
Sigh . . . . .
