Oweee

Okay, so after my flight and a day of rest, my body feels like someone dropped a couch on me (for lack of a better example). I'm not really sure why. My ribs are killing me, my hips and upper legs are stiff stiff stiff and I have bruises all up and down my shins. Seriously, what was I doing?! The only thing that I can think of (at least for my upper body) is that I carried a 20 lb. backpack around for the majority of the trip. As for all of the bruises...?

But I know sleep will be sweet tonight and I'm just so thankful to finally be here that pain is certainly not an issue. Ahhhhhh ... the soothing balm of joy.
