I'm too excited to sleep

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.
