We're home

Yay, we're home. It was nice to be back in Vancouver saying hi to folks, but it's tiring being in different places and seeing everyone in a crammed packed visit. It was the longest I've been back there since our wedding ~6 years ago. There were only a few people on my list that I didn't wind up seeing, which is actually pretty good for a trip.

I had originally said that I was going to keep my pain killers where they were for a few weeks, but I realised that I'd managed a couple of times to forget to take some and lasted 5-6 hours, so I dropped one anyone. It means that the flight home was a little creakier than I'd like, but my "hard" gnome-sudoku time has also dropped from ~45 minutes to ~15 minutes. =)

We got our visa renewed successfully, so no there isn't any stress of whether we're suddenly going to have to move, find new jobs, etc. So here's to the start of a boring (life-wise) 12 months starting now!

I'm back in the office tomorrow. We'll see if my stamina really will hold out for the whole day =)
