Two weeks

[indigo_rose99]

Two weeks at home, and today I feel like I have lost the trick of travel. It feels as if my most recent return from the Philipines meant that I could finally relax into being home. And I did.

I am sitting in the airport again, feeling lost. I forgot my wedding ring. Nearly forgot my pedometer and water bottle. Had to pull jackets out of my carry-on yesterday because everything would simply not fit. Forgot the recent TSA trend toward freaking out at my epsum salts and packed it on the bottom (it's heavy!). So of course I lost 30 minutes to a very nice agent digging it out then leaving me to painstakingly repacking my carryon. Underwear and bras everywhere!

I feel like I gratefully shed the skills of travel too soon.

I loved the last week. Working in my cave (office). Only having to talk to perhaps one person a day. It was relaxing and lovely. I wanted it to last for weeks. But no.

Here we go again.

Bummer, Di.

Hopefully this is like how everyone says getting back on a bicycle is.

Or you can make yourself some notes for the future!

epsom salts

So did they let you bring the Epsom salts, but just need to have a closer look? How much were you bringing? So curious.

I'm sorry to hear you feel you've lost your travel mojo, so to speak. I'm sure you're still quite skilled!

Yep, epsum salts is perfectly legal. Just suspicious in its density, I guess. They wanted to do a swab test on it.

I probably have about 3lbs of it. Most of a 5 lb bag.

T was most upset about me getting hungry on the plane and forgetting where I put my food bars. *sigh*

Your T is very protective of you, and that's something so special. My A is similarly protective of me.
