(Today was a dentist appointment, woohoo. But everything looks good from the ton of work I had to have done back in the fall, so that's good! Also, the toad makes noise!)

Last post from the trip!

On Sunday, we got up early (though not as early as the trip down!) so that we could get checked out of the hotel, stop back by Debby's, and then get on the road.

The weather was projected to be far better, with no storm warnings on the way back.

Seeing Debby and Grandma in the morning was nice, even though it was only an hour or so of time. We chatted some, and got to say goodbye. My grandmother insisted that next time we see her she'll be a lot more active and less tired. I very deeply hope that's true. I'm very aware that this may be the last time I see her, but I hope it isn't.

Leaving was bittersweet - my mom and Debby both cried, which made it hard for me not to.

Still, it was a good visit, and I'm so happy that I got to go along.

For the trip back, again we listened to some of Taylor's music on shuffle, and then a few episodes of The Magnus Archives. (And we hit some *really* good episodes. Cul de Sac is one I'd heard people mention before, and it was real good, because suburbia is real creepy, ha. Concrete Jungle also stuck out to me, as did the one where Martin interviews Simon.)

We stopped for gas around Santa Fe again, and made really good time the whole way.

The trip was pretty uneventful, which is kind of good, so there's not a lot else to say. Mostly I've got pictures of the landscape from the moving car, ha.


Some mesas and distant mountains.

We got back into the Denver area around 6:00 or a bit later - making it about a 9-9.5 hour trip this time. Alex had gone to bed with a headache, and hadn't had a chance to go take care of Raven for the evening. Instead of dropping me off first, my mom and Taylor decided to go home first. That way we could take Raven out, I could help them unload the car, and then they'd drop me back at my apartment.

Unfortunately, we got to their house and their internet was down, which prompted an hour+ of trying to figure out why, paying a bill for a second time, failing to get through to customer service, etc. (Taylor was worried, since they work at home, and had to be back on Tuesday. They were worried that waiting until Monday would take too long to get reconnected.) It had not been sorted out before my mom left to get me home, so I don't know how it was sorted, but I know it's since been fixed.

Finally I came home, which felt nice. I would have been happy to stay in NM longer, but it was still nice to be home, with Alex, petting my own dog.
