You Can Go Home Again!

[anarchist_nomad]

Writing this entry from the living room of the Event Horizon, as Day One of the 2010 Nomad US Summer Tour draws to a close. Tis most excellent to be back here again! As much as I love the Flat With No Name, it is small! Returning from there makes me appreciate the spaciousness of a three bedroom house... as well as the quarter acre of land surrounding it! I have a front yard! And a back yard! Perhaps best of all is the fact that gyades and I own this. No renting -- it is ours!

I have back back in the U.S. of A for nearly fourteen hours now. I touched down into O'Hare at 10:30 this morning. Shortly thereafter, I was collected by the ever-awesome xirpha. Twas excellent to see him again and chat for a bit on our way out to the 'burbs. Once home, he waited whilst I took Lucretia II -- our 1999 Infiniti G20 -- out for a short test drive... just to make sure that my US car was still functioning! With all good, he took off and I spent a little time settling into home. Stumpy was rather helpful with the whole "settling in" business. She marched over soon after I arrived and announced that petting was necessary. Ah, I have missed my furry little girl!

A little past noon, I made my way over to my former place of employment, Fermilabm and filled out the forms that should get me a visitor's ID badge tomorrow. The Summer 2010 US Tour is rather long -- four full weeks! -- and is not all holiday. Some of it will be spent on vacation, of course, but there is also work that I need to do when I am here. Analysis for T2K is chugging along and I certainly do not want to be left behind! Tomorrow I should be able to set up shop in the Neutrino Visitors Center. Tis good, as I have two deadlines to meet before the end of the week!

Once work was done for the day, I met the delightful danaeris for an impromptu dinner date. That was most lovely -- I have not enjoyed the pleasure of her company in far too long!

Following dinner, I made a brief stop back at the Event Horizon where I spoke to my beloved cheshcat about some very good news that she received today. I cannot say more, as it is not my news to share. Suffice to say, the conversation left me feeling very happy and optimistic!

Then it was time to head back out again to meet gyades and to print out 300 invitations to the Souper Sekret October Pagan Festival! For those of you who attend, watch your mailbox -- they should be getting sent out tomorrow or Thursday!

Finally, home again to unwind for bed in preparation for a busy day tomorrow. Apologies to all those that I owe e-mail or LJ comments. As you can see, today has been quite the busy one -- especially since I did not sleep last night before my trans-Atlantic flight! Overall, I do think that Day One was a success! Here's to twenty-seven more like it!

Neutrino Visitor's Centre? Wow, can I actually meet one?

And yay for Cheshcat's good news, whatever it is.

Enjoy your space, both outer and yard.

*giggles*

I'm amused by the Neutrino Visitors Center too.

And I am not surprised by Stumpy's response -- I gather she takes after her mother? (Who is shedding truly remarkable amounts of fur, BTW!)

What time do the festivities at Event Horizon begin?

[miss-amaranth.livejournal.com]

Glad to hear the first day was a success!

Looking forward to reading all about your adventures here - and hearing more about it all when you get back!

Yay for Cheshcat's good news, whatever it was.

Thinking of you. Miss you. And love you lots!

PS. I am off to get ready for work now. I will write you an email when I get home this evening. :-) xxx

PS. Your choice of "current music" makes me giggle - (a slightly edited version of) that song is our theme-tune for the BGH. *grin.*

Welcome back, honey. Your country missed you. ;-)

I believe that the two that were left behind are a little skittish of me, as most of the times when I show up they have been alone for a couple of days. They are very good a hiding when I am around.

*smirk* The two that were left behind did not study and failed their rabies titer tests. It's their own fault.

BTW, thanks again for all the times you check in on them. We really do appreciate it! I hope I get to see you in October.

It must seem to them that they are living in the Tribulation of a desolate post "Kitty" rapture world. I not sure if they would be so keen to move on if they knew that "Kitty" Heaven is a small flat in England.

See you in October.
