Just a quick note to let everyone know that I’m back in the US! Woohoo! We got in this last weekend, making the trip in one long day, but I have to say the trip was much, much better this time than the first time because we knew better what to look for/avoid. I thought I’d have some goodies to share from the road, but it really was totally uneventful. The next day, I got up and was surprised how much energy I had considering the previous day (hell, week), but the day afterwards into the 3rd day, I was just a trying to do as little as possible. It’s not that I was so physically tired, I just lost all drive to do anything. Since then, things have been mostly consumed with getting business/financial things done (lots of phone calls, so that was on hold ’till we got here), last minute Christmas shopping, etc.

Regarding my much-advertised gastronomic festivities, I started badly by consuming like 3 fast-food meals (from different places, of course) in first two days. I think I reached my quota already. I know, I’m such a wimp, but after being relatively “clean” with respect to outright crap/unhealthy food for the last 5+ months, I just can’t take the burger/fries thing to the same degree (and I’m totally OK with that). On that same subject, everyone has told me I’ve lost weight, which is really surprising, because I don’t really see it. Claudia has said it a couple of times, but she sees me every day, so I didn’t think it was that big of a deal, but even Claudia’s doctor here who would otherwise have no reason to say anything of the sort to me said it. As long as I’m not a complete couch potato and don’t go nuts with the holiday (hell, just decently good) food, I’ll keep the streak going. I’ll have a little of lots of different things, I will. (ok, that Yoda sentence came out of nowhere)

So I’ve done quite a few things on my list (see below) already, but the next two major things I want to do outside of the holiday days themselves (in relaxed fashion, of course) is work on the blog, computer tasks in general, and go to Houston for a few days…we’ll see how things go. I’ll post more on other stuff shortly.
