A Winter Wonderland

Well, I'm back in Saskatchewan.  We (Henry, Ella and I) arrived late on Saturday night.  Our flight was delayed in Toronto slightly so I was only about 30 minutes later than anticipated.  All things considered, the flights went off without a hitch.  Ella and Henry arrived relatively unscathed and seem to be adapting well to their new surroundings.  I think I'm starting to adapt, as well!

I brought home a nasty case of bronchitis, that despite a week's worth of antibiotics is still kicking my butt. I'm starting to feel better - just need to rid myself of the cough.  I'm not feeling much like being out and about.  Will eventually move farther than the living room at mom's house - but just not yet.

The to-do list for this week includes a doctor's appointment and a stop at the RCMP to get a criminal record check...which I find quite amusing as I haven't lived here for four years.  Anyway, that is what I will do!

I'm missing my Damascus - it's true!  I am sure such feelings will stay by me for quite some time.  I am hoping that someday the situation there will be resolved and I look forward to returning.  In the meantime, I look ahead to the future and will see what opportunities are awaiting me.

Coming home has had some wonderful benefits.  I was able to have a great visit with my Uncle Ken, whom I haven't seen for something like 25 years.  Crazy!  Yesterday, mom took the day off work and she and I got to spend my first "weekday" home having a nice visit.  I've made a few phone calls and sent a few emails so news of my arrival should have reached the masses - not that my arrival is news, just that people should be able to stop worrying now :)

And on that note, I shall stop my rambling.  Will post regularly while I am home - there are lots of exciting adventures to tell of while I am in Saskatchewan. However, right now, I'm off to make some toast and peanut butter!  Welcome home Tylene!!!
