Let there be rest, and a lot of laundry.

Dan and I got home from Seattle last night about 7:30. What a fantastic getaway it was for me. He had the conference and a lot of responsibilities around it, so it was not his getaway.

Meeting his tribe was the best part. He has been attending this conference, and coming home with more and more tales, for years. Having names and faces to the past and future stories was great, and they were so sweet in the way they welcomed me in.

I did get out and walk Seattle each of my remaining days there, including the day I proclaimed a day in bed day. My curiosity makes it easier to get out of that bed and explore for a little while. At home, sometimes the bed keeps me longer.

Today is my down day, as tomorrow my youngest son and I will be flying to NYC to catsit for over a week.

To add a bit of challenge to the "launder and repack day" it appears that NYC is 20 degrees warmer than Seattle. I get to wear my summer clothes again, but worry about the impact of the heat on my fibro, as I hope to explore a lot with Josh!

I can't wait to find out though, to challenge myself with this stretch of traveling 17/18 days.
