home again

this note is somewhat delayed, but wanted to close the swazi section with the safe arrival notice. the trip back was a lot less painful than the trip there, and my bags even managed to make it back when i did:) i spent a week with the fam mired in the zombie-like trance of jet lag. i don't know how much fun i was to be around, but no one seemed to mind. now back to work where the reverse culture shock continues. hoping i can hang onto the revitalized super-charged gratitude i have for the love that is to know and be known, a comfortable bed, a variety of clothing options, and a car that vrooms when i want it to. it's a good life, people:)
