Ken made it home on Monday night (via plane to Phili and then train home) and Ellie and I made it back on Tuesday. Luckily Ellie and I didn’t have any problems with the flights. We all had a fab time but it sure was good to be back in our own beds.
I want to thank Mom and Dad so much for watching Ellie so we could sneak away for a few days. We really needed the break and I think maybe Ellie did too. She sure is missing the attention and extra cuddles already.
I tried to pick up a Paris today so I could fly with MJ. Her birthday was Tuesday and we were going to go have yummy wine and dinner, but there was a problem with trade and it wouldn’t go through. So I couldn’t get the trip. Oh well, I thought, I will just pick up something else see that I have very few hours this month and we didn’t win the lottery. There were even a few good trips I could pick up but I just couldn’t bring myself to do it. I guess I kept thinking if I pick a trip up, with all the traveling we have been doing and working next week, I would’ve only had 2 days at home in a two week period. It is so hard to give up days off at home.
All that to say I home, playing hooky and feeling a little bit guilty about it but not too much. Bummed about the Paris though.
