I remember when I was a little girl, anticipating something I thought was really really exciting: Christmas day, a vacation, the last day of school. I remember being so excited that I couldn't think about anything else, I could hardly sleep at night because of the anticipation. Well, I guess I'm a 35 year old version of that same little girl recently. I am filled with anticipation for my homecoming. I lie awake at night thinking about very simple things that I am looking forward to: seeing and hugging and kissing my family, being in my own house, my own bed, a glass of wine, a really nice steak, showering barefoot (and with plenty of hot water), drinking water from the tap, ice in my drinks, walking barefoot in the grass, running outside.....I guess there is a lot to look forward to.
There isn't much going on here now. Our replacements have begun to arrive and we have pretty much wrapped things up. Now I am just left, sleeplessly waiting until I get to go home.
