Wow!!!! Back home, back to work, back to the world...

First off, to finish up the vacation stories. When we returned to Sesame Place on Sunday, I went back to the Welcome Center to get Jimmy's wristband. When I arrived there, I gave the woman working the desk Jimmy's name. She told me she had seen my blog... she was Zoe's mom. We talked for a few minutes - now we know why her daughter was so wonderful and sweet! Clearly genetics! As souveniers, I bought a little stuffed Zoe of my office - I was really touched by the whole experience of meeting Heather (if you are reading, I would love to keep in touch!!!) and I got Jimmy a Cookie Monster shirt. He loves it. We had a wonderful day - we left about 2pm and swung out to Hershey to see Chocolate World. It had been our intention to go to the park for a few hours during their twilight prices, but it was really more than I could do. But the tour was fun!

We got back on Sunday, going to bed early because I had to get up at 5:30 a.m. to get on the road at 6:30 for a 9 a.m. appointment at Jimmy's specialist in Rockville. On a weekend, it's about an hour. I allowed two hours for the drive since it was a Monday morning. I arrived up there at 8... only to find out that the doctor had moved his vacation up a week and canceled my appointment. It would have been nice if they had called or left a message. I made it back to work by 9:30, but I am still steamed. The doctor is very good at what he does, but is not good with follow through with correspondence and so forth. But there aren't enough developmental pediatricians to go around - I have to stick with him because most aren't even taking new patients in D.C.

But that has been the only negative in the past several days. My first day back at work was great... I got a great deal of unpacking done today and will likely have a decent handle on the workroom and my office stuff by the end of tomorrow. I also won't have furniture until next week, but I am just going to roll with it and bring my laptop to work.

The photos are on the upstairs computer, so I will post those later.
