Now I just have to…
Move the house back in from the camper
Do 15 loads of laundry
Restock the house with groceries
Take whirlpool baths three times a day while eating Advil like M & M candies
Sort through a pile of mail as tall as Pikes Peak
Pay bills
Watch King Ralph shave the beard
And life…well, it should resume to normal in no time at all!
