After traveling nearly constantly from the end of September, I am home, mostly, until the end of April, when we start all over again. I have to make a trip to San Antonio to pick up my new glasses. I'll need to make a couple more trips to San Antonio to do yard work, but I'll work that in.
The Hershey trip went extraordinarily well -- Mr. L's pre-planning back in February made a huge difference. Medical trips to San Antonio worked out fine eventually. And my trip to Wisconsin to visit my folks went extraordinarily well, too. The minor illness I experienced on the way home is abating (although I suspect the cough may linger, but I'm doing to do my best to eradicate it).
I've utterly failed to do any writing during this time. Constant travel does not lend itself to such things. I will regroup and devise a plan. A few ideas crept into my head. Some notations were made; however, there's nothing workable. And I must get GEEKS revised. I must get past the first draft and successfully revise my work for acceptable publication. This is an essential part of being a writer.
Efforts to capture Zelda, Nick, and Daisy begin in earnest on Monday. Yes, the Kitten has a name. If you're a fan of F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, these names may seem familiar. Mr. L's master's thesis was on F. Scott Fitzgerald, so when I named Zelda, all the other names fell into place.
The house is still a disaster, but I will begin plucking away at it a little at a time. Someday, it will be together. Planning is ongoing, and I'll sort these little things out in due time.

Have you ever thought about keeping a travel journal? It doesn't have to be elaborate. Just a few sentences jogged down at the end of the day. Many writers swear by them.
You have traveled a lot these past few months! I bet home does feel wonderful. I'm sure the cats appreciate your return. :)
