The Eaglette Has Landed

Girlfriend is back on her "home" turf, and none too soon. A few more hours and I would have been searching Amazon for "loony bins" so that I could have one overnighted and crawl inside.

I am happy to report that Ana is back to her usual self (although still with a mild, stress-induced, propensity for threats). I could visibly see her load lighten as she boarded the plane, waiving and smiling at her subjects, treating them to a more than slightly off key version of the theme song from Disney's Sleeping Beauty.

Needing to vent to my mother on the car ride home from the airport, I changed the names of key players to protect the innocent - Ana became "Shelley". After I finished my horrific tale, a little voice piped up from the backseat:

"What that Shelley girl do? That's not to do! That's not what we do!"

Exactly.
