Trip ending...
Jul. 24th, 2007 11:59 amSo the vacation's over, and I'm back at work.
Yesterday went by in a blur of tiredness and heat. The flight was horrible, the worst flight I remember - for one thing, the plane that was supposed to take us was stuck in Tel Aviv with mechanical problems, so another plane had to come. This little fiasco delayed the flight from 23:15 to 2:50. We only took off at 3:00 a.m., and the inside of the plane was hot and dry. Throughout the vast majority of the flight I was taking very fast and shallow breaths, because it hurt me to take deeper ones, and the amount of water I had to drink was immense, with the flight attendants being less than nice. To top it all, after we landed we got stuck in the plane for another 20 minutes or so, because the operator of the sleeve through which we were supposed to descend the plane just didn't show up...
Took us another 45 minutes or so to finish everything we needed to, and we stepped outside into our parents' arms.
After saying goodbye to Mel, we went home, and I spent the day drifting in and out of sleep, watching T.V. and reading. Of course my sister and my Brother in law came over to say welcome, and I gave them what I got for them, after which I resentfully took the dogs out (my mom spent no access time in letting me have that particular job), and then I went to sleep, trying to dose off when inside my inner clock it was only 21:00.
When I did fall asleep I went into a very deep and dreamless sleep, from which I only awoke at 8:15, when my mom came into my room. It took me a few minutes to understand that I'm late in waking up, and I was very tired. It was only 6:15 in the morning for me, after 3 weeks of enjoying the luxury of waking up when my body wanted to and staying in bed stretching for a good time after.
Luckily, even though my brain was still fuzzy my body kicked into auto-pilot and went through my morning ritual - breakfast, coffee, brushing teeth and shower. It was only after I finished my shower (with cold water) that I truly was awake, and then I knew I had to hurry, and I rushed through finding clothes that were already dry from yesterday, getting dresses, putting on my make up and getting a bag ready with everything. I was out the door 3 whole minutes before my normal schedule, so yey.
Got here today to find out that Racheli and Lily are both not here - Racheli is fasting (it's the 9th od Av) and Lily slipped on Thursday and cracked her pelvis as it seems, so she's at home, resting. Yael, the girl who substituted me is here,and so is Ika, Dovi's secretary (Dovi is the CEO of Yediot Books).
I brought DH with me for another round, and after I finish it I'll lay off HP for a while to get ahead on my other readings,and then I'll probably go for the entire series again. No doubt, DH is my favorite of the books, and is a superb finale for the entire story.
As the banner said, before the release - "7 books, One story, The final Countdown".
The countdown is over, and the end has come, with a bang. I'm so happy I was a part of it.
More later.
