I clicked my heels and what would you know? It made me trip on the moving sidewalk at the airport. Has anyone ever realized how fast those things go? You just start walking along and before you know it, you're at the end and threatening to kiss the carpet. I must master those in my next life. Or possibly this one, once I've gotten rid of the bruises.
I am home! I wanted to come home because I missed my kitties (you know, and the family, sort of) but apparently they have moved on. They are now sleeping with my mother. Mutiny, I say! I go away for three weeks....
Okay, well, I did go away for three weeks. And they are babies (six months old) so I suppose I can't blame them for seeking a little motherly love. But come on. If you're gonna go to someone for a snuggle, don't go to the mother. Mothers poke injuries to see if they've stopped bleeding before they slap a band-aid on it and tell you to stop crying. Mothers aren't for cuddling. At least, mine never was.
I'm not sure what I was hoping for when I came home. Maybe a warm welcome. Instead I got a shrug of indifference and everyone went about their business. Then again, their business was sleep, and it's sort of nearing 2am.
Damn. That's two arguments I've talked myself out of.
Anyway, I'm back in Cleveland and I miss Colorado already. If any of you are looking for a fantastic place to vacation (or hide from reality like I did) I HIGHLY recommend Sundance Trail Guest Ranch in Red Feather Lakes, Colorado. Here is their website. They are all things wonderful. I mean, they put up with me for almost three weeks, so that's about as saintly as you can get without ascending to another plane of existence.
I am now going to try and remember what time on the eastern coast feels like.
Night all!

Looks beautiful there! We're glad to have you back nearby. :) I'm sure your kitties will be too once they wake up and realize who you are.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back, Elizabeth. Hope the stay did you some good. Don't worry about the kitties, I'm sure they'll come round soon enough. Whenever we go away, ours make a point of snubbing us for a few days just to get the message across that they don't like their staff just taking off like that without permission :)
ReplyDeleteThe kitties have indeed come around. They're back to terrorizing as only kittens know how ;)
