Going out of order: Decompression

  I'd heard that coming back to the "default world" could be tough, but I didn't really believe it.  As if I would go camping for a week and have a hard time adjusting to the life I've had for years.  Actually, I really am having a hard time and I'm starting to be depressed.  It was kind of like someone handed me an amazing Utopian society to live in, and then made me give it back at the end of the week.

We got home at 2am Tuesday, and had to meet my parents at 2pm to get Evy.  I'm Really grateful that they watched her for us AND met us halfway so we didn't have to drive all the way down to Valley Home to get her.  It was still a long few more hours on the road though.  Wednesday I worked from home.  I took two naps and only managed 6 hours of work, all of it whittling down my 1369 unread emails (I still have 120 of those left to look at).  Thursday I jumped in with both feet taking on issues and found out that no one had had time to do very much of my work for the last 6 days, so things were becoming emergencies.  Then at 5pm someone forwards me an EMERGENCY that was dated last Friday. It's too late to do anything now, it will have to wait until morning, so a whole week has gone by with this "holy crap that's a great bloody fuck up" EMERGENCY just sitting there, so I'm kind of freaked out about it.  Then I ran to Target because Evy needed some Raiders clothes for school because it's sports team Friday and we have no team clothes.  I got some bread and cheese intending to duplicate the breakfasts Rebecca Rose Bleu made us on the playa.  Licensed sportswear is expensive.  Also my prescriptions happened to be ready, so more expensiveness than I expected. Then I got home and it was 7pm and Evy needs dinner before her 8 o'clock bedtime.  Also, someone almost backed into Sheldon, the lunch lady is mad at Evy because she can't remember her student ID, and the school called me saying Evy was absent for a period.  Then. I. Burned. The. Fucking. Dinner.  And that's how I ended up crying and shoving a plate of food at Sheldon telling him to "Go eat your nasty-assed burned fucking dinner!"  Evy decided I should have two hugs for the amount of upset that I was and everything was fine soon after.

I can show you where I camped though!  Here is the photo:

So if you go 1/3 the way along the top of the photo from the left, there is a yellow school bus colored container.  It is a dumpster.  There are two little humps against the dumpster.  The forward hump is our tent.

Camp was at 3:00 and Airstrip, which was a great location.  Whenever I was too tired to go anymore I could just sit in the camp living room and watch people and art cars go by.  At night we could watch people playing with the camp's 2 story interactive light wall.
