Many experts agree that it takes a day, to adjust for every hour of change in time zone, add to that arriving home with a serious head cold, it has taken me a couple of weeks to settle back into a routine. And that is fine. It is so nice to return and not have to go back to the office. I can take my time and settle in.
We have done a lot of grocery shopping since we returned home, we largely emptied the refrigerator before we left (I even took all of the drawers and shelves out of the refrigerator and washed them before we left.) We have been restocking, and I have been playing in the kitchen. Having fun. Some of it is inspired by things we enjoyed while away, some of it is just playing. We had a dear neighbor over for dinner one evening last week. His husband died shortly before we left. I cooked and baked much of the day. He said it was his first home cooked meal since his hubby died. He enjoyed the dinner, and I had the double fun of having enjoyed the day of making it. I wish I knew how to inspire others to enjoy playing in the kitchen.
Way back in the mid 1980's I started wearing colorful patterned socks. Someone at the office made a remark about them. I said the first thing that came to mind, "the routine things in life, need not be boring." So as a settle into a normal routine, it will not be boring.
