Back home.

Wow!  A great time with friends and family.
Travel was timed going out.. 10 hour travel days. Two hotel stops. Good weather for December. . at least til we got to Connecticut.
After our visit in NYC. Cold and rain.
Then wind and rain then snow on the 25th. We trekked up to New Hampshire to surprise visit an old friend.
A great dinner and time shared. Kinda made everyone's day.
The rest of the week was cold outside.. But warm and cozy inside.
We got out to visit my cousin. Had dinner and talked.
We also binge watched TV. New Years was good too.. We went to the movies.. Hanged with Rick .. And had a great time together.
New years day...wow.. Cold..cold.. But went to be support for the polar plunge.. Cold... But a day to remember. Maybe next year....
Crazy.
Did I mention how cold it was???
My poor car.. Hard starting all week..finally on the morning to leave..it took almost an hour to start. Then each day back had to be jumped to start.  Of course.. Back at home..it is 50 degrees.. And no car issues...
Possibly some moisture in the fuel and lines that didn't like the 4 degree nights..
I will schedule a dealer service visit this month.
It was a great way to finish 2017.
I was comfortable and at ease.

So.. Back...  Work.. The first day..Friday.. Went OK..I had to do a few things while still on the road..Thurs..  Friday was a few quick reports and things to finish.. Then home.. Sat.. I found that I caught a bug.. Probably part of the flu that is rampant here.. Or from the cross country travel .. I had the chills and the rest... I bundled up and stayed in bed for as long as I could. Then camped on the couch... Then dinner and bed early. Same for Sunday.. Then felt better.. Slowly.. And slept.. And to work Monday. And I think I have beat it..
I think the local didn't like the foreign strain..and I got through it.

But now..I think I am getting a head cold.

Work ..ugh.. I have been working 12 to 14 hour days.. All week.
Prep and implementation.. Roll out and all that goes with that..
Today was total stress. But.. I made it through.. And no one was maimed or adversely bruised..
My bright spot.. Saved me from all this crap.
A text..a smile..emoji.. A birthday wish.. Made me smile.
A few minutes to grab me away from the stresses.
Thank you!

So... I have been coming home late.. And been sick.. I have to make time to update and do the things I need... To..

But.. I want you to know... I do miss you... I miss how I felt with you.
It was so comfortable.. Even as a guest.. It felt like home.. Like I was home. Being able to wrap my arms around you.. To be able to hug you when ever.. For no other reason than I could.. Even though.. I refrained now and then to not be .. Too much...

Miss you...

Soon
