Holiday hangover

Back to work today after a relaxing week-long holiday at home. I am a bit jet-lagged and am fighting to keep my peepers open and to shake off that depression that follows a holiday. My head aches *sigh* It must be my holiday hangover - too much sweets, not enough sleep, zero exercise, a waistline jiggle.

My flight on the 22nd was interesting. In short, it was 2 1/2 hours late in departing due to bad weather (freezing rain). In fact, I'm lucky we left at all considering two planes had slid off the runway and the airport was on the verge of being closed. Needless to say, I missed my connecting flight to Kamloops and spent the night in a Vancouver hotel (actually, I spent only five hours at the hotel, hardly worth the nearly $100 incurred cost). I arrived in Kamloops at 7am the next morning, and my luggage arrived the following day.

But despite that rocky start, I had a great time. Met my sister's fiance's family; threw my sister a stagette; visited with an old high school friend; and spent some quality time with my parents.

Tonight we're going to pick up another foster cat, so that should help get me back into the swing of things here.

Well, I'm short on stories today, so I'm heading off to the gym for some much needed post-mincetart-and-other-sweets-eating exercise. I hope my gym shorts still fit.....
