Apparently, tossing and turning all night is good exercise! LOL!
After napping yesterday, I made a bowl of egg drop soup, unpacked the suitcase, played some computer games, and went to bed early. Now, after a really good night's sleep, I can reflect on my trip a little more happily.
One of the shining moments was when I was struggling to carry my suitcases down the stairs, and a young Black man offered to carry the big one for me. He did so with grace, and stayed to help me to the front desk. After the tensions in the US of late, I was very happy to see what we, the People, really are. I thanked him sincerely, and received a big smile in return. Moments of grace fill the soul.
I obviously didn't make the pilgrimage to Trader Joe's on that trip either. But there is one in Charleston, which is only an hour away from me, so I will still make one, and soon.
During the partial eclipse that covered my area (I think they said it was 98.6% of totality), we had a strong thunderstorm. I did get pretty dark, but I don't know if it was because of the clouds and rain, or because of the eclipse. I did have to turn on the lamp on my desk.
I'm still feeling a little tired, so I may take a nap this afternoon. Thankfully, I have the day off, since I was supposed to be travelling back from Columbia today.
Have a great Tuesday, Buddies!

I am with you this morning....look for good and it will be found everywhere! How I do wish tossing and turning at night was a recognized sport as I think I could qualify for the Olympics...

Wow, you had an adventure! Great trip, I think, in that you didn't have to work and some different things happened from regular. That is the best part about vacation, I am sure.
