Happy St. Patrick's Day. Although it hardly feels like it. My first R &R started yesterday as we recovered from the long flight home. Due to unwavering circumstances, it looks like this R & R will be on my personal expense so I ended up booking through Expedia, going on two international long flights and two layovers. I almost didn't make my flight in Newark. I was surprised how well Alyssa did on the plane rides after the 4+ hour drive to Johannesburg. She is one tough cookie and a young world traveler.
First day, we went to Stephanie's Birthday party. Was really looking forward to it and Alyssa enjoyed meeting her old friends, the bounce house and face painting. The plane ride finally hit late when she had indigestion problems..Mommy too. I guess we are just ready to party! We were looking so much to this trip, nothing was going to stop us. Not even the three plane rides.
Day two of my R & R ended up getting my MEDS at Walgreens, returning car seat at Wal-greens since the plane delayed my article, and getting used to driving on the right-side of the road. I was on autopilot this morning when I pulled out of the house we are staying at onto the road and realized I was driving on the wrong side of the road!! Woo hoo..Scary, I better not day dream again. It's just amazing on the brain works. It just doesn't switch over that quick!
I guess the rest of the week is getting things straightened out in DC and then coming back to enjoy vacation in Florida. Meanwhile things back home in Africa are progressing..When I return, my master bathroom shall have been refurbished. Let's hope they finish when I return. I plan to get back on my weight loss during this trip as I've gained 10 lbs since last year and have to start again on the slow WW plan. That seems to work for me because of the 1) accountability and 2) realistic health plan. Well, hoping for some relaxation time before heading back to the salt mine.
