I try really hard to focus on the good, however, returning from vacation was diabolical.
We returned from vacation to an issue with our water supply at home, plus an elderly dog with diarrhea. I don’t have many words to describe how terrible that was at the time.
The first 24 hours back home was messy. I felt like we were constantly cleaning while trying to get readjusted back home. It wasn’t an easy transition back.
The blessings were that I did a deep clean of the house before we left so a majority of the house was set up nicely when we returned.
I also did all of the laundry before packing up, so unpacking at home was a breeze. We only had one load of laundry to put in the wash, and the rest went right into our dressers.
My mother in law had also made us meatloaf, mashed potatoes and carrots for dinner so we had a homecooked meal ready to be warmed up in the fridge.
I also placed a grocery pick up order on our way home so our fridge got restocked almost instantly.
There was a lot that went well with our return, and some hiccups that we had to work out. The after-vacation exhaustion set in while I was cleaning up dog messes and I felt really low at the time. Thinking about all of the blessings helps! I really can’t wait for my dog and myself to be feeling back to normal soon.
