Tomorrow I will board a plane and head back home to Summerland, where the skies may be grey but the mercury tends to stay above minus 87,000 degrees.  So that’s nice.  I am very glad that I opted to spend the past two weeks here with my family instead of rotting in my house alone while Steve traipses around down under.  It has been a true break for me in that while Avelyn napped I didn’t have to spend my free time scurrying about browning ground beef for dinner, spit-shining my toilets or deciding which tv show to watch online (I got to watch real, live cable tv, and it was beautiful).  My parents took such good care of me and I am thankful for their willingness to put up with my slovenly ways.  <\/div>\n
I am looking forward to being back home again and, of course, to Steve’s imminent return.  Before this "business trip" of his (which has included long walks on the beach and lots of kangaroo and koala hugging) the longest we had ever been apart was one week.  That limit has been tripled and I miss my man.  <\/div>\n
In health news, my mutilated stump of a finger is healing nicely.  Truth be told, only a single stitch was required.  But I really did see MY TENDON (there is no way I can not<\/em> use full caps when writing that). <\/div>\n
Upon my homecoming I will be treated to a maid service!  A while back I won a contest at BlogHer<\/a> and the prize was a house cleaning.  When Steve comes home to find the baseboards dusted and the floor glimmering I intend to take full credit. <\/div>\n
On a related note, Avelyn likes sitting in a big ol’ Rubbermaid container and being pushed around the house.  Cute, no? <\/div>\n
