It was great having my guildies here all this weekend, but I gotta say, it's good to be back to normalcy.
I'm a hermit and I know it. The great thing about our old house was that most of the time, no one came there unless you called first. It was too far out to drive in case I might not be home. Additionally, I typically don't answer the phone until I hear the machine. That's mostly because I'm dodging creditors, but also...sometimes I just don't feel like answering the phone. I've done that since college even. The only difference is that now there's a realistic chance I'm really not home (having kids and all that).
Now...the house is empty. Just me, Wifey, and Princess today. TheBoy has but four more days (counting today) of school, then summer break will kick off. There's no server party to plan in-game. There's no picnics to plan for vast numbers of people to come over the apartment. There's not even any in-game holidays to have to work on. I can just go back to playing the game (which I've barely been in-game to do for a week).
Well, there is that whole college prep stuff that I gotta do for tomorrow. Crap...I should get on that. It's only financial aid!

Our weekend at ELC was an absolute blast. Callistana did a great job of getting everything set up, and while the group was small (just as many as last year), we still had a LOT of laughs.
I was all set start writing up my altered-state-of-reality account of the weekend as soon as I got hom. I started to do one for last year, but never finished it, and have spent the last year being poked at for it. I wrote Friday night's and most of Saturday's thus far, but haven't finished the rest. Once we were unpacked, I was gonna go at it.
Then I got the bad news: The vacation plans are officially off. FIL's doctor evaluation isn't until next week Wednesday, so at least, they're not leaving this weekend. On top of that, MIL's pacemeaker needs a battery recharge, and that can't be fit in for another week or two.
With this news, I'm not exactly in a creative writing mood. Damn it. I really wanted to have this stuff together.

No kids, yet also no nookie. Long conversation about reality. We are going to have to sell the house. We may have to survive on one car. We have to find a solution that keeps our family together.
That is all that matters...our possessions be damned.
