Home.
I'm finally relaxed after a three and a half week haul of a trip to Indiana and back. I've been in bed for twenty four hours, recouping and finding rejouvenation cuddling with my kitty cats and soft sheets. It was a hectic trip, filled with frustration and family issues but my grandparents are better than expected and my brother is settling down in Ellensburg.  I have stories to tell. Boy, do I have stories. My crazy grandma, my uber-frustrating brother, my racist great uncle, my ailing yet happy papa, and the beautiful, beautiful drive. I really wish more people had time to drive vs fly because it is a wonderful experience to see the countryside fly by.

Anyhow, stories to come later. 

As I was in rural Indiana, I didn't have time to connect and reconnect with the internet world, but it was a nice break after the quarter ended.  I did get to meet with Miss Ally, as she lived closed by where I was staying. I only wish I had to time to stop in and visit, even for an hour or two, with my friends in N. Dakota, Minnesota and Illinios--I am speaking specifically of Nell, Laura and Jerry. I was thinking of you as I drove through your states. 

I'm happy to be home. I nearly cried crawling into bed--safe and away from the frustrations of family. I do miss them, out in Indy.  They are good people, stuck in their  ways, but it was a good trip at the right time and I know that, though it was hard on my body and on my moms as well, I'll rest easier, knowing that we went out there and helped out as much as we could---and that we saw, for ourselves, that things were going to be okay.

I'm off to sleep, falling into cuddles with the kitties. I hope this finds you well.
