Hi! I'm back, and glad to be here!
Yep, I got home a few days ago. That night the temperature promptly dropped and we got a lovely big dump of snow. Ahh, I love this country
For over three months my boyfriend and I enjoyed a wonderful and relaxing experience in the south. But I was ready to come home to the wonderful and familiar experience of (so-called) springtime in Saskatchewan. I was especially looking forward to seeing my friends (and dare I say family) again.
Returning home has found me with lots of practical and personal matters staring me in the face. Looks like it's transition time for a while. It's easy to feel overwhelmed with unpacking, putting away, making phone calls, replenishing groceries, paying bills, staring at (but so far only staring at) income tax forms.... etc.
So I'm pacing myself. Expecting miracles of organization and productivity just sets me up for stress and disappointment. I learn this over and over. I've been doing a reasonable amount of work each day, then going for a visit or coffee with someone, or to a group meeting, and in the evening maybe watch Coronation Street (Peter Barlow's up to his tricks - any fans here?) Today I'm adding some time on the computer and am VERY glad to get back onto the forum. Granted, I've only been home and achieving some balance for a few days, but so far so good!
I look forward to catching up on some of the threads here, as time permits. It looks like there's been quite a lot of activity...
