Luna and I got up at 4am to walk, pack up and be on the road at 5am. A 22-hour car ride was ahead. We planned for uneventful and that is what we got. The only stressful part was as the night wore on, I couldn't see as well. I was getting really tired. Jason drove the first 8 hours, I drove for 9.5, and Jason was our finisher. We were both strung out, but had some fun along the way.
We had satellite radio and were able to listen to some games.
We realized that Jason picked the perfect week to go.
We had temperatures in the 80's. The moment we left it was COLD - car says 49F!
Luna was tired from our week of both relaxing and go go going...
She shifted around quite a bit during the drive, but looked so comfy traveling like this!
So we arrived home at 4am and just felt road tired and dirty. Luna showed her happiness to be home and clean...
Cuddled up on the bed after a shower...she's our little ewok...
We'll be recovering in a different way now. Unpacking and doing laundry at various places (our washer calamity is still under re-construction) will be a slight inconvenience, but we'll be fine. I noticed that our beautiful vacation distracted me from my grief, and, of course, showed me many blessings. I understand that blessings don't take away my grief, but they provide that foggy view into happiness, and there are more moments of clarity. There are moments of complete blindness, and those are ok too. There are blessings in having many ways of seeing.
My clearest vision is that I have the Perfect Pack for me. I never tired of the 24 hours of Jason and Luna. Sure, Jason rode his bike, but just like at home, Luna and I counted down the hours until he would be home with us again. We all like being together. Luna and I feel as cemented as ever, and I don't like thinking about being away from her because I don't like being away from her. That hasn't changed at all. Our Pack vision is clear - we just like to be together...
