I've Landed.

I am back in the Twin Cities. It feels so strange to be home after so long. This is the first time I have been back without my parents, and even though I am staying with family, it is the first time that it doesn't feel like home anymore. It's still nice to be here.

I need to take some pictures of the snow. The boys will freak out. In some places the piles made by the snow plows are taller than Stevie. They have never seen anything like it. It kind of makes me wish that I had brought one of them with me. Choosing between them, however, would have been impossible, and it is probably better that I didn't even try.

I didn't end up using the liquid courage that Kyla suggested. I did use a little chemical courage that my doctor prescribed. I was functioning, but mellow on the flight. Incidentally, I highly recommend Midwest Airlines. I had never used them before, and I have to say that it was the most comfortable flight I have ever had. Do you think that is the happy pill talking?

Tomorrow morning we go to the funeral. There is talk of a hockey game tonight. I really don't know what is in store for me. I have lost touch with all of my friends from the cities, so I am at the mercy of whatever the family wants to do.

LOST also comes back tonight. There is a TV in my bedroom, I might actually be able to watch! We don't have cable at home, so it wasn't a sure thing there.

Donnie's teacher sent me a couple of e-mails today with some concerns. He is reversing several numbers: 2, 3 and 7. He also has trouble concentrating when there is much noise in the room (me too). I don't know if we need to be concerned now, but it is something to think about.
