Emptying the Nest

Well, the fam got gone this AM just prior to my 9:00 meeting. They had a pretty long trip back to les montagnes... with only one wrong turn along the new route (that conveniently took 'em up by Lenoir to drop off Me-maw at home). Me-maw's forgotten outfits are already in the mail (well, UPS); and Mom's forgotten shoes will be on their way soon.

It's awfully quiet in the house without the two or three simultaneous conversations! Of course, quiet is good for a mid-afternoon nap. Yes, I said nap. Evidently, the company (and getting up "early" every morning over the weekend) wore me out. At 3:30 this afternoon, I couldn't hold my eyes open & just HAD to join Coop & Kona for a little mid-day siesta. I only intended to nap for 30 minutes; but I knew better than to think I would be "rouse-able" after that short a time. Two hours later, I rejoined the living world. Yes, two hours. But I've tried to make up the work-time tonight... and I'll do the same tomorrow (make up the work time... hopefully, I won't need another 2-hour nap!). But in order to make sure I don't need the extra rest during business hours, I'm heading to an early bedtime tonight. As soon as the dogs stop wrestling ON ME.

Anyway... hopefully, everyone's happily settled back into their own comfortable beds tonight (although I hope your quick stay in my beds was pleasant!). Let's do it again soon. :)
