Well, that sort of used to apply. I guess it does when I go to the Millar's. Anyway, back home am I, and it's been nice and relaxing so far. Friday, my last day of HelpDesk work completed, Mom and I successfully made it across the country (will a little help from a plane) and arrived on time in Toronto, meaning I made it to band practice on time! The weekend was a nice welcome back for me, and included some horseback riding on some out of shape (but not for long) horses.
It is great to be home, but at the same time, I feel a bit out of place. Not all the time and not with everyone, and definitely not with the environment (ie. nature), but I guess it's the sort of thing that's to be expected when you've been gone for a while, and even when you come back you, and everyone else, know that you're going to be leaving again. It's an interesting perspective, and one I never had for all those years that I was so entrenched in this community and involved with my family. Well, not so much the community, because I've never really felt like a member there/here. And really the family situation is just continuing on from where it was even before I left, because almost everyone seemed to be moving on except me, and that's part of the reason I figured it would be a good idea to get away. It's definitely helped me sort out some things and gain the perspective I believe I should have ... That's all a little abstract, sorry. But I am in psychology, so would you expect any less?
This week's been great, spending time with both my families and the animals :) I'm still sort of getting settled in, but it won't take much longer. Anyway, time to run.

Anne and I were a disapointed you ddin't come Sunday night, but I am sure we will see lots of you eventually :)
To make up for it I think you should have to spend a night or two here and hang out with us sometime before you leave.
I had no idea you guys were coming over ... sorry. But, as you say, there should be plenty of opportunity to see each other. I'm up for spending a night, definitely (even if it involves cleaning ;)).
