Getting Back to Normal

The last 12 days have been crazy for me.
My husband and I went to Delaware to visit our daughter and her family there.
Then, we went to Maryland, where we were speakers for two days at Kidney Day events.
Then, we returned home and had another one of our daughters show up to spend the weekend with her fiance ... which involved a number of activities, including visiting one of our granddaughters at her college.
This morning, our daughter left and all day I have been trying to catch up.
Finally, things are beginning to feel normal ... busy, but normal.
Whew!

I am still really enjoying that I know where Delaware is - and Maryland - and all the other states. It makes US posts much more meaningful. Glad you're having such a busy time - better than being bored witless! And I'm not saying we're bored. Just some people seem to be sometimes.

I have never understood how to be bored. I know that seems crazy, but I always have a ton of things I want to do and never enough time to get around to them all!

@dodo19 - I was exhausted. I slept like a baby last night ... better than most babies, in fact!

A merry-go-round is a good way to describe my recent life!

Ahh! That sounds good. I think a little time to relax with a cup of tea sounds good.

Sounds really busy. I have been busy too with vacations, plus being sick and work on top of it. I'm trying to catch up on things also.

I hate it when I get sick. It does make it hard to catch up.

Yes, much as I love them, things can get hectic when I spend too much time with our extended family.

Normal is a good thing, but then so are all of these activities. They were positive and happy events.

Yes, it is good to be busy ... and equally good to get things back to normal! It was fun seeing you and Connie for lunch today.

Yes, things should be calmer for the next few weeks, at least.

Welcome home. Vacations, even working ones, are nice, but coming home I find is something I look forward to.

I'm glad you like the picture. That is the beach where I normally walk ... when my life is back to normal. That is why I posted it.

Yes, it was fun, but it was also exhausting. I'm headed to bed in a few minutes! LOL
