Well, I could use something normalized if anyone is up for it. I had a weekend trip that went horribly. On the way back (supposed to be back Sunday evening)!there were mechanical difficulties and we had to stay overnight at one leg of the trip and so I got back Monday midafternoon finally. The persons I missed most and most wanted to see were my dog and cat, not my H. They were also the people most happy to see me. Dog was wagging her entire body and hasn't left my side. Cat has been leaping into my arms over and over and wanting to be held. H even got me flowers and he still wasn't the person I most wanted to see. Poor guy.

In my defense, I did talk to him on the phone repeatedly, and the dog and cat are still perplexed by the concept.
