thanks to United for eliminating the DC/SJ flight, i have now been awake for 23 hrs at least, enroute home. where i now am. totally exhausted. fortunately, there are taxis at the SJ airport until the last flight is in. lots of time sitting in airports. had a nice seatmate from Dulles to LAX, a grad student in language/intl relations eclectic mix, who was coming back to UCSB after a month studying italian and more time wandering around in Sweden.
ketzl is sort of happy to have me home. he is talkative and i know he wants to go outside but i need to shower and get into bed. he is now knocking things off the kitchen table to get my attention. silly loud cat.
it was an amazing 10 days. i'll do more details in a day or so. i did promise Marcy that i would show up at the office tomorrow. so in some form or another i need to do that. plus the usual return from vacation stuff of laundry, putting away, etc.
i cannot remember ever being so tired.
