I thought settling back into 'everyday' life would be a little difficult (it usually is).

But it wasn't this time.  I got up and went to work.  I was a bit behind and played catch up most the day.  The time passed quickly and it was time to leave.

There was a lot to do after work too.  I had a huge pile of mail at the post office.  I sorted through all that and I picked up some food so I could cook supper.   I made red beans and rice.  That seemed an appropriate after NOLA supper.  As a bonus there are leftovers for another day.

The food in the dining car was excellent as usual. 

  

A lot happened at work while I was gone.  I'm glad I missed it.  Several people were suspended and/or fired.  It will be interesting to see how things shake out over the next few weeks.

Life is full of strange things.  When I got back I read an ecard from my ex.  She said she made a horrible mistake all those years ago, loves me, and wants me back.  I can't fix that for her.  She went out to dance and it seems she is finally having to pay the band.  I'm sorry she can't find a love to suit her.  I know that pain.  I lived with it a long time.  Finally I accepted my status and now I happily journey along alone or with my friends.  I fully expect to metamorph to the next stage of life alone somewhere on the side of the road in the back of an RV.
