I am overwhelmed. First of all, by the wonderful outpouring of support from my blog readers who stopped by and commented while I was in France and away from Internet. Thank you! Your support and comments mean so much to me. And thanks again to Michele Stegman for a wonderful guest post last Thursday, as well as to all of our friends who stopped by.

It’s amazing how a little thing like a vacation can throw us off. I am, by necessity, a very routine-oriented person. Workouts, writing, blog posts, blog visits and comments, housework – none of that would get done consistently or well without my routines. It was nice to get away from the madness into a different kind of madness (I was with a tour group, and there was a lot of “hurry up and wait”), but it’s good to be back home. It’s going to take me a few days to get around to all the blogs I missed, and to get back on Facebook and Twitter. It took a good several hours to go through email, and that’s with going no-mail on most of my Yahoo groups. I also have a web design job to finish this weekend – good thing my workweek is short this week! Oh, and that’s not even counting any real writing. I’m not going to push that until next week.

What about you? Do you have trouble getting back into a routine after a little time off – even if it’s something planned and positive? Any advice for me?

Please know that I appreciate every comment, tweet and Facebook share! If you comment on my blog, I’ll return the favor – only now, it might take me a few days to get caught up. And I will share a little bit about my trip. Thanks so much for your support!
