canyonwalkerI finished my trek of I would fly 500 miles and I would drive 500 more Sunday afternoon. We left the hotel in Bakersfield at 9am, stopped for lunch and recharging near Firebaugh, and arrived at my house at 1:40pm. David came in and chatted with Hawk and me a bit before continuing on to his house another 45 minutes away.
After that I took it easy around home. Whew! It felt good to be home. But it was also frustrating because I was like, "Where'd my weekend go?" By the time David left it was too late really to start anything for the day and disappointing that I'd have to go back to work Monday morning— beginning with a 7am meeting, no less!— without having a day to relax or a day to do anything that felt properly... weekend-y.
Well, I did go out to the pool for a while with Hawk on Sunday afternoon. Then we had a leisurely dinner at home and did quiet stuff in the evening. I guess that was like a half-day of weekendliness. It definitely underscores for me why I wanted to push to do the whole drive on Saturday. I would've preferred having the whole of Sunday to do something else, even if it started with sleeping in a bit after getting home late Saturday night.
