kjpepper*waits for the squirming to stop, cackling*
We're home, safe and sound. It was a much longer trip than usual because we kept stopping every forty-five minutes for stretch/bathroom breaks, as![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
anzovin was having a back spasm and the rest of us were just stiff... plus eating lots of bad for me stuff all week + traveling + getting thrown off my usual routines = rather unhappy digestion. Still we made it... which is especially triumphant as once we crossed the MA border I drove the rest of the way home. On the highway. For the first time ever. Yeeeeeeeeeeeeah.... It's been a bit since driving gave me the shakes after parking, but this time I did have to sit down and have myself a freakout. That done, it wasn't too bad... other than I can't merge worth shit and those sharp daisy-wheel curves getting on and off the highway scare the shit out of me. Oh and tractor trailers, though the road was so thankfully empty that I only had to deal with the one (empty road at night was really the only reason why I even volunteered to drive.)
So yeah. Working off the adrenaline high right now. We'll see if I get to sleep.
There really is no place like home sometimes. Just coming back to your own space, your own stuff, and most especially your own bed and computer after being on the road for a while... ahhhh. Tomorrow I have no plans other than laundry, putting my ish away, picking up my scrip at CVS and having some lunch withcaptainlove as he has wheels this weekend. And you know... hugging my cat and morlock a bit too. But now... pajamas and Entertainment Weekly/end of Kushiel's Mercy time!
