Extended bereavement leave by a day

On Friday, I made the decision to take today off and extend my bereavement leave. I wasn't sure how I'd feel today. I actually feel okay.

I think that this leave has helped me sort out past issues within my family. It was a much needed period to reflect, grieve, and be at peace with everything.

I'm not sure what I'll do today, but I will take it easy.

Home and relaxed

Home. It's good to be home.

As much as I have enjoyed being on vacation, visiting old and new spots, and catching up with a good friend, it always feels good to be back home.

Last night, I had a smooth trip home. The car rental return was fine. I had a decent seat on the plane that was roomy, and I didn't have to speak with border security to have my luggage searched. I even got into a taxi immediately to fetch by car at my workplace.

I'm spending today unpacking, doing laundry, and taking it easy before I had back to work tomorrow.
