This time last week, I was in a tank dress exploring Key West. Sigh.

And today I am trying not to let the cold and grey make me grumpy. As much as I loved vacation (and you’ll see pictures in the next few days), I’m trying to make being home a little easier. So I’m making a list. Of things that I like better about home.

1) Our bed is smaller. I’m not a fan of king sized bed. I don’t even know Nathan is there with me. It is nice to be back at home in my own bed. With our cats wandering around our heads at all hours of the night.

2) My bathroom. Cruise toilets don’t smell neutral. And the shower spray hit me right in the face. And I like my bathtub.

3) Back in routine. I’m back on my running schedule (even though yesterday’s 12 was brutal). I’m back to tracking calories. I’m not having dessert with lunch. That’s a big step.

4) Decent cups. Geez Louise. I realize it was to cut down on waste, but the cruise cups are so small! Maybe 8oz. Made it hard to mix my Via. And I don’t think I drank enough water because I refused to get up halfway through my burrito.

I’m not sure this is working. So I’m gonna try closing my eyes and pretending that I’m back on deck for a little while…
