And then, I am back.

Caterpillar on its rails.

Bring me home please.

I just want to be home now. The mood is a bit lighter, but the body feels heavy. Tired and painful... I am getting old. The body doesn't recuperate as well as it used to. Bubble bath is what it craves. Warm and comforting water.

Then a good night of sleep. Lucky the kids are on holiday, the bell will not ring tomorrow morning. Happy me... if the little ones forgot to wake up as usual... The annoying morning bell is not for them, but for me. They don't need it, their internal clock knows all about the right time for everything. The time for waking up in the morning, the time for the seating at the table at noon, the time for asking many and many more questions when the parents want a bit of quietness...
