Rejuvenating Time

I was supposed to fly to El Paso yesterday for work. I am hoping this is my last trip out to the job site there since I am supposedly starting a new project here in Atlanta in May or June. Well, wouldn't you know that my flight from Atlanta to Denver was delayed due to their early morning snowstorm yesterday and the delay was longer than my scheduled layover there. So I had our travel lady in our Denver office push the trip 24 hours. So now I am flying out today- fingers crossed on that one! Since my flight to Denver was/is not until early afternoon boths days I got to sleep in some and take my time packing, etc. here at home. It is funny how much I truly enjoy being at home at times like today and yesterday. There are so many things that I get to do around the house that have been neglected for so long because of my non-stop daily schedule. For instance, I finally ironed that pile of wrinkled clothes that have been laying on top of the chair in our bedroom for months... some of the shirts were short-sleeved! Those are left from Hubby last wearing them early last fall! I made a long overdue trip to wal-mart to get toiletries, cleaning supplies, etc... I got to take my time and actually SHOP. Of course, my mind always goes to that place where I wonder if I could actually quit my job and be a stay-at-home wife/mom.... I think I would really enjoy it at first... but, then once all of my projects are done, I would probably die of boredom! Who knows...
By the way, I did pass my black belt test a couple of Saturdays ago... I have just been slowly decompressing over the past week or so since that stressful Saturday. Since I have not been back to the karate studio since that day, I have had a chance to do some long overdue things for myself. I washed all of the "gear" in my karate bag, I have been dealing with all of these joint aches that I have ignored during those last 3-4 weeks before the test (my right hand and elbow are the worst- especially my thumb and middle finger joints), and have just been taking it easy in regards to getting some more sleep and relaxing. Since my Grandmother's hospital/rehab stint is finally over and I am traveling this week for work, I will probably not head back to the karate studio until this Saturday.... that will be officially 2 weeks since my test and I am positive I will be ready to start back by then.
I still have a list of things "to do" when I get back from El Paso on Thursday night. Hopefully, it will all fall into place...
