There's only one problem with being home and it's that our bodies are still on a time zone that's around sixteen hours ahead of this one. We were dog tired last night but ended up wide awake at 4:00 AM. We got up to just ride it out.
There are a multitude things about being home which aren't problems at all. The weather was pretty good. It is very nice to come back to our cozy little lives in BC. We really are so lucky to be able to experience many varieties of existing. We have so many unique memories. This is quite the opposite of getting into a rut. We experience different actual types of life.
Now that we're back, we had a few things to do. This morning I took a bus uptown before 9 o'clock. I wanted to get to the Royal City Mall as soon as it opened to buy seven months of car insurance at my broker. That should bring us right up until the beginning of another winter away. Of course, if I decide to buy a new car this summer, I can switch coverage to a new vehicle. As well, we went to the Canadian Superstore in Coquitlam for groceries. It is a habit I've missed. Moreover, there were lots of little things around the apartment which needed to be done. For example, I had to plug in the Android TV box. We used it extensively in Malaysia for Netflix and other TV and music. Thankfully, Telus had our Internet ready and running for us when we flipped on all the electrical switches yesterday. Lastly, I caught up on updates for our dining-table laptop which had stayed in Canada. I like having my computers all vastly over-organized. Task, accomplished.
Dorothy was right about home. She, like us, needed to get away on an adventure to appreciate home all the more!
