6:58 PM - Charlotte airport

I am back in the US! Feels like my trip went by in a flash and yet, it seems like forever ago that I left STL for this trip.

Today, I am thankful for:

1. London - it was great spending a little time with Tenten for that layover; I hadn't seen her in 10 years before this. I got to see a little bit of London, but I definitely want to go back. There's so much more to see.

2. this entire trip - with only minor inconveniences that might have felt huge at that time, but for the most part, I was able to do and see and taste everything I planned.

3. God, most of all - for letting me do this and for keeping me healthy and safe throughout this trip.

Home sweet home. As sad as I am that my trip has come to an end, I am glad to be sleeping on my own bed again.

I unpack tomorrow. Right now, I sleep for at least 10 hours.

I slept for 12 hours! And it felt soooo good. I still haven't unpacked, I'll just do that this weekend.

Today, I am thankful for:

1. a full day of rest. I needed that after my trip.

2. not having caused any issues at work while I was away. At least, none that I could see in my email.

Tomorrow, back to regular programming... a.k.a work.
