We're Home

All in all, it was a nice trip, although I'm not so good at being away from home. My mind is already churning on how I can streamline packing for when I go to DisneyWorld in freaking November, because that's the way I am. And anyway, I had to have something to think about on the five hour car ride home today.

This was pretty funny, actually. We decided to go home through Lancaster so that we could at least get a look at this "Amish country" we've been hearing about all our lives. So we did. And let me tell you: Lancaster, PA is just an old city. Old as in 17-- something or other, but nothing to write home about. When we finally got out of the city and back on the highway, we did indeed pass an Amish-looking fellow out in his field with a horse-drawn plow, but even so. And then, after we got home and I turned on the TV, I saw an ad inviting people to visit "wonderful Lancaster County!" Uh ... oh. It's not the city we were supposed to see, but the surrounding county. Well, maybe next time.

In the good at-home news, K had indeed received her graduate assistantship and all the paperwork that goes with it -- so it's official -- and interviewed yesterday with one of the two professors she'll be working with. She'll be a research assistant, helping the professor find the information for a book she's writing. K is not crazy about doing research, but she's very, very good at it. She's going to meet another potential professor tomorrow.

I am very, very tired. Hopefully, I can sleep in just a bit tomorrow. My big tasks for the day are calling the Other Chai and the vet, and getting my nails done, all of them. How demanding could that be?
