Home Sweet Home

So very grateful to be home now! I love my sister tons but this trip was a trial. We just seemed to scrape each other the wrong way almost every day. It sucked. I thought we'd spend a few weeks lazing in front of the couch, watching Dr. Who and such. Missy had other ideas and very generously bought us a hotel on Clearwater beach for 3 nights and also paid for us to go to Busch Gardens. I think it was kind of her but maybe too much for us both. I know it pushed me to my limits.
Since I got home I've slept 80% of the time. And intend today to take a bath and once again, go back to sleep! I've always needed 9 plus hours per night. Missy needs 6 hours or less. It's hard being in someone else's space who has such drastically different needs. Pushing so hard on less than 5-6 hours/night has wrecked me.
Good news is that she is much more energetic than I thought she'd be. Some pain and such but mostly her indomitable self. I'm relieved that she still has so much spunk.
ON the other hand, I'm beyond wiped. Add in some painful family drama and the worst birthday ever and I just want to hide. Maybe go see BD, take a bath, sleep and hide. Yeah, that's it!
