ianukWell, the war is over and I'm tired. I'm home, as planned for a day of rest, cleaning and setting up the studio..except that I don't feel good and I've just been resting. The war was very surreal this year. I think I got over tired through most of it but I'm okay with that. Our troops did amazing and I'm so proud of all of them. I learned a few lessons again and hated taking my boots on and off all war. Next year will be different and gosh darn it, I'm making patents. On sunday I started loosing my voice...and my throat hurt by the end of it. I thought it was over use but...yeah, here I am sick again. Not as bad as last year since I'm still not certain if I'll go to the doctor but since I dodged the bullet on all of the sickness of the last few months, I guess I'll cope. I did what I could with packing up yesterday but my husband was an angle and let me sleep most of the morning. I did get the tent internals packed up and I did pack the truck with lots of help from richard. Storvarr was fantastic and helped Ulfgard pack up and helped Ivan with tents. I slept on and off on the way home. I probably should not have been talking as much but eh, I was on my way home.
Got home and mel sent me off to the shower. I luxuriated in the hot water and sat on the floor of the shower for quite a while. I then snuggled up on the bed in towel and robe and had kitten luv from both girls. They missed us lots. Then mel got a shower and a large crew of us headed to sweet tomatoes for dinner. Good food, good conversations but by 830 I was done. Got home, I crawled into bed after looking at my new tool bench. I was in bed and asleep very quickly. I awoke at sometime when the girls got grumpy but that was it. I hit the bathroom when mel got up and then was asleep when he kissed me good bye. I slept until 9am...so 12 hours was good. I got up and snuggled up on the couch and the girls followed for more snuggles. I got through my emails and a quick journal read, chatted with the husband. I'm looking at the piles of things in the front room and will probably get a load or 3 of laundry done and move arts stuff around but I don't think I'll do much else. When mel gets home, we'll decide if I need to go to the doctor. I'm tired and my throat is sore and that is about it.
As I had said the war was surreal. I did not get to see enough of the people I miss, I only got 1 night in my camp drinking mead and I did not get enough time in general in my camp. Now I know part of that is because only part of the family was there, second, we were not eating in camp and that meant lots of time elsewhere...its just dissapointing. Plus ivan and I were having a very hard time keeping the tent organized and cleaned up. We are making boxes for clothing and things cause I'm just sick up of it. I need to remember that next year I will not teach on sunday...its too much of a hassle. Plus I felt so rushed it hurt. Thanks to all who kept track of the husband and made sure he was on time to things. That helped a lot. anyhoo...I need more tea and more sleep. Later.
