Fair to middlin' of nowhere

Looking forward to my own bed
I miss my cat
and the smell of home.

I’m wondering…
If all my flowers have survived
the heat and lack of rain
If the cat will be happy or mad
when we get back
If the electricity will be on
Did I remember to pay that?

I’m ready…
To go back to work
To go back to the old routine
only this time with a twist

Two changed women
are coming back with
different hearts and minds

Nothing will be the same since
we found…
That common ground
The person behind
the role we play
That space in the day
to just be who we are
together

We had an Ephany
her and me
We both hated the yelling
and neither one wanted
to come back to that home
ever again.

Have really enjoyed reading your vacation adventures and enlightening realizations, my friend - thanks for putting them "out there".

I'm so glad! I sometimes wonder if it is TMI or like forcing people to watch home movies LOL!
