The last time I wrote I was still in FL, I have been back for about two weeks now and the first week was very over whelming. When I first booked my vacation I did not know that it was going to turn into a month in FL so I didn’t think to take a day off after traveling back home.
I arrived back on Tuesday night to a cool house and two very happy boys. At first I didn’t mind because for the last month I had been sweating so being cool was not something I minded. But then I started to get settled and things started to just get piled up. Did you know that if you do not use your washer machine that the parts can dry up and it will leak on you until they are primed again? I didn’t either.
My car, had a swamp in it, because (I believe) my sunroof is leaking and I was trying to play catch up at work. It was just a lot to take in and I couldn’t seem to get my head straight.
One evening I even tried to work on the furnace myself. Me, playing with gas, fire and a furnace. The next day, after an emergency call to the heating company and one fixed thermal couple later I found myself in a warm house and time.
I knew the one thing that would help me get back into the home groove and that would be cooking a good meal in my kitchen. I was going to make risotto! I have been wanting to make it for a year now and I had been afraid of it. But I found an easy recipe on foodnetwork.com and I had picked up a lobster the day before because it was on sale for 5.99 a lb!
I spent the next two hours with my music, my boys and cooking something I have always wanted to try. It was just what I needed to feel back at home.
