It was a bumpy flight back to the mainland but we arrived safely at 9:58 last night.  Strange little dip of the wing right before landing that put a jolt in most of the passengers, judging by the relief when we coasted to a stop.

I ended up taking the day off of Nanowrimo yesterday as a reward for excellent Island discipline.  Felt good and not too anxiety inducing.

Until this morning when, after having breakfast with Shari, unpacking, and doing various other sorts of procrastination I finally settled down in front of the keyboard.  I felt a bit daunted by resuming a daily goal of 1800 words, so at about 650 I was regretting yesterday's break.

But the next time I looked up I was at 2,046 and calling it quits for the day.  So the grand total now is 21, 368 words, just a few days shy of my half-way there celebration.

It was great fun to spend time in Kona with Shari and Lynne.  They're amazing friends and excellent helpers, cooks, mothers, thinkers, shoppers.  I am truly blessed. 

While I am going through snorkel withdrawals, it's nice to be home.  It was so good to see Dan's smiling face at the airport.  I miss him when we're apart.  That's a good thing after 25 years, yes?

The weather has definitely changed here...the night air is downright cold (especially after the Big Island) so it was good to snuggle into bed last night.  Back where I belong...at least until I persuade Dan to move to Hawaii!

Off to the gym!
