Back in California after 10 days on the other coast. Just had a shouting match with my drunken next door neighbor at 5AM as he had woken me up from a sound sleep. The return trip from CT was grueling and I arrived here exhausted. The day after I arrived I slept 4 hours in the middle of the day and still felt tired. So this was not a good time (if ever) to wake me up. Mess with my sleep and you awaken a monster; wake up the kid and I will well and truly desire you harm.
As I got back in bed Aaron patted my shoulder and said he was proud of me, which struck me as odd since I had been hurling invective over the patio fence just moments earlier. I suppose it's encouraging to have someone else share the burden of defending the family.
At any rate, there's no going back to bed now. I've had a shower and after a cup of tea and a boiled egg I will start the unpacking process from the trip. Olivia got so many gifts from her CT family that I haven't been able to put it all away. She has been a little crabby and needy since we returned, no doubt picking up on my general mood. If I can get the house organized I hope to clear a space in my head too. Then perhaps I can be more generous with people.
