Back (again!)
So I'm back from the field (OK I have been for a few days). The boxes are ALMOST all gone/empty. I have a good deal of organizing to do still in my office/craft/clothes room, and the basement is a wreck, but the rest of the house is coming along. A's been off school (of course, it's summer...) so his areas are totally moved in, and the kitchen is all unpacked and looking great. Pics from the honeymoon and house coming soonish. I'm trying to deal with the massive quantities of photos and sort out the best- the LCD screen on my camera went out 1/2 way through the trip in Sorrento, so the pics from then on were taken old-school; no special settings and looking through the itty bitty viewfinder- so I took lots of photos hoping to sift later.
It's been bittersweet to be back at work- good to get back in a routine and be productive, but hard to get back into it after being gone so long and then in the field. Getting settled at home has helped and I've made it to weekday farmer's market to stock up on yummy veggies to cook with. Today I finally found the time to go for a run after work and topped it off with a swim in the "quarry" our neighborhood association's swimming pond. It was great after a run to swim in a cool spring-fed lake. A was playing tennis down there too, so that was fun. Last night we played Ultimate frisbee, and despite being out of shape, we both played really well and ran a lot too. A caught the winning point and each of us caught another point too. Our team is 7-1 which is fun- we're good. Last summer our league team had a record of 1-8 so it's nice to be on a winning team. Our team has a much more positive attitude than the team we were on last summer too.
