Home Again

Fifteen hours after I woke up in Kitimat this morning I'm sitting here in my own house writing this. It was a very long day; A forty minute drive from Kitimat to the airport at 8:30 this morning, then an hour waiting for the flight to leave and an hour and a half long flight to Vancouver which got in around noon. We landed in the rain which is always a sure sign we've returned to the southwest coast. We couldn't get a direct flight home so we had to wait almost 2 hours for the PCL bus to come and then it was close to another hour through Richmond and Tsawwassen and out to the ferry. We caught the 3pm so we were in Victoria a little before five. We stayed on the bus and got off near our house and walked home dragging our suitcases behind us. Fortunately there wasn't frozen slush on the ground like last year. After we dropped off our stuff we had to drive out and pick up our dog from my dad who'd been fostering him for the holidays, and we got groceries on the way. I had cereal for dinner (I miss my aunt's cooking!)
and now I'm here. Tomorrow I'll unpack, do laundry, move the pile of stuff off my desk (or not?) and attempt to organize my room a little and finish my homework. Then it's back to school on Monday. Thus the cycle continues. It'll be screaming busy from now until summer I know, and I can't wait to get going on it!! You'll probably notice I have been and will be saying that a lot lately, but it's just such an exciting prospect for me!! Pardon the repetitiveness should it arise.
