Sometimes Monday ...

... is a day to catch up. 

I'm back, and busy with laundry, mail, bills, emails, appointments, work, and the other pesky details of my life that I put aside for five days. It was a lovely trip, and I was especially glad that this time there were no pulmonary embolisms. I was a little nervous, but anticoagulation, graduated compression socks, staying hydrated, an aisle seat in the exit row with plenty of legroom, and walking the aisle in the plane as often as possible all worked well. 

 I got to experience Colorado's record temperature drop, with 78 degrees and sunny last Wednesday to 18 degrees and snow on Thursday morning. I do miss Ryan and being there, but it is nice to be back to a more moderate fall. I hope your fall Monday is off to a good start!

    I am glad you had such a lovely (and uneventful) trip! That temperature difference including snow are just crazy! I hope this week eases you back in to reality gently!

    WOW! I thought we had a big temp drop, but it was nothing like that. I'm so glad you had a good trip to see Ryan. I was thinking of you off and on this week, hoping that your trip would be smooth. Welcome back!

    I've heard that temperature extremes like that are quite the norm in Colorado -- sometimes even in one day! Me? I prefer a more gradual change. Glad to hear it was a good visit without any health issues!

    Glad you had a good trip here to Colorado! Yes, that swing in temps was crazy, but soo Colorado. It's warm here again, I have turned the furnace off during the day. Take care of yourself and maybe next trip we can meet for coffee and a little knitting.

    Welcome Home! So glad you were 1) able to go - flying!! and 2) that there were NO PE issues. I would have been nervous too. By brother in Boulder said their weather has been nuts too - I don't think quite as dramatic as where Ryan is, but still quite a roller coaster. Hoping you can ease back into your "routine" life easily.

      Thanks, Kathy! I was thrilled, too. The snow was mostly just a slight inconvenience and I think they're back to normal fall temps. I hadn't seen snow on Oct. 10th before.

    Delighted your trip was a great success on all levels, especially the getting there n’ back. Welcome home and ease into that “to do” list ...it’s ne’er ending. Snow, eh? Y’day was a lovely fall day; not ready for snow or cold...
    Have a great week.
    Cheers~

    Welcome home! I'll bet that weather was crazy! I'm glad you got to visit Ryan, indulge in that yummy Ft. Co. food and hopefully visit the Loopy Ewe!

    Every day I feel grateful for the modern medicines that allow me to function and be as normal as possible. So happy you were able to spend time with Ryan. You can never trust the weather in the Rocky's during the change of seasons. Spring can turn to sprinter and fall to winter in a flash. I think we end up with 4-5 Indian summers. Glad you are back and look forward to hearing more about your CO trip.

    Ah yes. Last Wednesday and Thursday were days of weather extremes. We left home on a 60 degree day and drove to 90 degrees in Fort Worth. Then a storm blew through and the Texas temperature dropped to 60 the next day.

    I'm so glad you had a good visit with Ryan -- AND ESPECIALLY that you stayed nice and healthy during the flights!!! (I worried, but just a little bit.) And, yeah. Western weather changes can give you whiplash . . .
