So a hot shower is pretty much the best thing ever. *Especially* after a 10+ hour plane trip. Ahh, may I never take such luxuries for granted!!

And yes, I am back in Houston at the moment, why do you ask?? Sitting here looking outside my 15th floor hotel room at I-10 gracefully(if you can call concrete pillars and ten lane highways “graceful”) sweeping under Beltway 8. And it’s good to be back, even if it is only briefly. I can’t believe I’ve been gone eight months! What!!?!

And now I’m sleepy…and while it may be not-yet-six here in Houston, it is definitely midnight in Scotland. And I’m feeling it. But Alex will be here soon to pick me up for dinner and I shall be rejuvenated by sweet fellowship and lovely conversation…

Maybe I shall take a ten minute nap now. Yes. That sounds good.
