I’m back!!!! Did you miss me? It is absurd how much I missed my site. I felt positively stifled. What motivates hackers anyway? The joy of making trouble?
Tomorrow is my birthday and getting my site back up and running is a great gift. Another good present? 150 boxes to open.
Yes, our last and final shipment from Egypt finally arrived! What you see above is ONE of TWO piles of boxes, each of roughly equal size. My sewing / work room is crammed so full that you can’t really walk in there. I’d have taken a picture but I could get far enough back from the first row of boxes!
I can’t wait to start opening everything to see what treasure is there. Also, what trash. I already disposed of about 5 pairs of old tennis shoes that the children outgrew while we were away. I’ll bet there are plenty of clothes like that too. There might even be things that weren’t meant to be packed up – like the step-ladder that belonged to the furnished university apartment we occupied in Cairo. Oops! (See what happens when I’m not around to supervise things?)
Don’t worry, my day won’t be nothing but toil. I am going to make my own carrot cake with my favorite recipe, but I’m already planning where hubby and the kids will take me to dinner
