I’m happy (and amazed) to say that my missing suitcase was delivered as the airline promised on Friday evening, all contents present and accounted for. The children gleefully dove in and rediscovered all of their presents. Just like Christmas morning again.
It was a busy weekend for me. I caught up on all the laundry and put away all the suitcases. I’m not a neat freak. I just hate having all that stuff lying around even more than actually dealing with it!
The kids are back in school this week which is so so great, but it’s still a bit of a holiday for me. My husband is off work this week which means that things are not *totally* back to normal for me yet. So instead of trying to get to work on my newest story idea in any serious way, I’m going to spend some time gorging myself on my TBR pile. Yes, reading in the daylight hours. Such a luxury for me.
The only other thing I intend to do this week is go and buy a new keyboard for our computer. The N, B, and ? keys have stopped working on ours. I’ve had the letters wear off before, but never had the keys just flat out stop working. We’ve been reduced to typing on our laptop keyboard, which I don’t really enjoy doing for long sessions. It’s amazing how much B and N crop up in a paragraph though.
One gift I received this year was a silver chain with the J keypad from a 1937 Smith-Corona typewriter. It’s very tactile and the J is just as clear now as it was the day it was made. They don’t make keyboards like that anymore…
Welcome home! Enjoy your week. Work will pop up soon enough!
