amazing how hard it is to come back from a trip, especially when you're coming back before the rest of the group.
i was supposed to stay at my sister's last night, but because she keeps the door to her bedroom locked (she's the manager of the complex) and i didn't have a key or the desire to sleep on the couch, i decided to head home. at this point, i found out that i'd left my dome light on while i was gone...and my battery was completely dead. (stupid, stupid, stupid) thankfully, one of the other people in the complex came home just then and kindly offered to jump start my car. i finally got on my way home...and noticed i desperately needed gas. talk about a catch-22. i stopped, and of course my my car wouldn't start again. another jump start, and i made it home at least. I haven't been brave enough to try it again today.
the flight back from london was long. i didn't sleep much because i spent the longest part of the flight sitting next to a 4 year old...whose first trick was to open a yogurt container and dump it down himself. i was afraid to go to sleep after that, plus he kept kicking me. at least i got to watch love actually, which was a rather interesting movie.
we stopped in chicago, went through immigration and customs, then got back on the plane. i think i left my scarf in chicago. :/ i thought i would be going through immigration and such in houston, so i left a large amount of time for a layover there. at least it was time enough for dinner and some relaxing before i got back on the plane, which is when i completely passed out and didn't wake up until i got into san diego.
i should be posting my trip journal up here at some point...this entry would be the last one in it. not sure where it'll appear. probably linked from both travel and here.
