Tommy and Kaya are away this week celebrating the holidays with his extended family but I had to come home to go back to work.  It’s pretty lonely around here but Tommy has been nice enough to send me photo updates of their adventures.

Meanwhile at home, I’ve worked a lot, done laundry, took a bubble bath, drank lots of tea (for the cold/sore throat that Kaya gave me as a going away present), played my trombone for the first time in about 5 years, watched Glee, took down the Christmas lights, unpacked from vacation, and slept through the night for two nights in a row.  It’s been a surprisingly pleasant change of pace, but definitely not preferable to having the family around.

Here’s a sample photo update from Kaya at the Vindlers’ house:
