6:04 a.m. - We're back! I'm writing from good ole Sweet Home Edgington! We got back home yesterday around 2:30 p.m., and we unloaded everything from the camper. I wasn't feeling the greatest and would eventually have to just lay down early in bed. I've been trying to ween myself off my arthritis medicine, and the combination of doing that with all the driving we have been doing finally got to me. That meloxicam is awesome in reducing inflammation in the joints, but when I'm not umpiring or officiating, I try to stay off of it. After completing our hiking on our vacation, I decided to go ahead and stop taking it. The withdrawal symptoms are definitely real. I was freezing yesterday, and my knees wouldn't bend. And then I'd go from freezing to sweating. I couldn't get comfortable overnight to get a lot of sleep in, but I did get a little sleep, and the chills and sweats have seemed to subsided. I think I'm over the worst of it.
So today, it's back to life and back to work. I'd really like to see Carmen and Tyler and baby Caleb, but that may have to wait until tomorrow evening. Carmen sent me a message and said should has something going about 5:45 p.m., so perhaps tomorrow evening will be a better time. I definitely have a lot to do today, so my plan is just to try to tackle emails and tasks one at a time and chip away at them.
Our vacation return went a little more smoothly than Mr. Strachan's. His party has been stranded in Atlanta for the weekend and may not get a flight until Monday evening. The whole problem is that IT meltdown that occurred across the country; his airport in Atlanta was especially hard it - lots of flight cancellations.
