No matter how enjoyable a vacation is returning home is always a great feeling. We left San Diego about 7:00 AM, drove north on 15 and went out and around Los Angeles to avoid traffic. We drove up through Bakersfield and cut across on 58 to 5. The Tom-Tom GPS did not know what to make of our cut across and kept trying to route us back north, up 99. It was about an 8 hour drive, with a stop for lunch in Button Willow.
We got back into San Jose and I started the evening with a bowl of cream of chicken soup. I followed it with a hot shower and then a wonderful little conversation with TR, during which I must have said I was glad to be home a dozen times at least. Did I mention that it was good to be home yet? My plan tonight is to stay up long enough to make sure I don't get to sleep too early. If I go to sleep too early, I will definitely wake up too early.
My plan tomorrow is to take the day as slow and easy as possible. I will have to, at some point, make a run on the market for fresh produce and other groceries. I don't have much left in the pantry since I tend to eat my pantry down when I am going on vacation. I had enough for dinner tonight and marginally enough for breakfast tomorrow, but that is about it.
Oh, let me share a little detail with you all. I mentioned before that I had switched to a safety razor. I did not take my safety razor with me when I went on vacation. I took a pack of twin bladed Gillette razors, which I had from before I switched to the safety razor.
They did not do the job. They didn't even come close. After my shower tonight I shaved. So, I am sitting here, clean shaven for the first time in days. Switching to the safety razor was an amazing thing and next time I travel I am going to make sure I take it with me. I am even looking forward to shaving again tomorrow.
