Home again!
Feb. 8th, 2005 10:39 amShortly before departing Denver yesterday, United announced that our flight to Durango was threatened by weather, and that if the flight did take off and it turned out to be impossible to land in Durango, we'd be "diverted" right back to Denver.
In the end, although snow was falling in Durango as we landed, we did land. I got home around 10 pm and went to sleep soon after that.
My body's clock woke me up at 4 am, whereupon I started to get acclimatized to the house again. Some of it was not entirely pleasant. For example, finding the phone inoperative and my computer on caused my brow to furrow. Moreover, there is a certain (bad) air that positively reaches out to touch you upon opening the refrigerator.
However, home is home, and I gave a hyena-like laugh this morning upon taking a shower in a stall where the slightest body movement did not threaten to jog a supply valve ever so slightly, resulting in a wholly disproportionate (and painful) change in temperature.
I'm at the local coffee shop, checking mail, sending files, and updating this LJ. No major changes have occurred since yesterday, as far as I can tell. Galina called on my cell earlier to let me know she was in New Mexico, which ought to put her within 6-7 hours of home, assuming no ice on the roads.
I need to recover quickly from this trip and get some motion going on new work. Come to think of it, part of that recovery will include sending off an invoice, which I should attend to without delay.
Cheers...
