Quick turn

After getting home last night around 7 pm, I am already starting to pack my luggage so that I can be ready for my 6 pm taxi to the airport. I'm headed back to Australia, this time to Sydney for the week. This means I'll physically be in Singapore for only about 24 hours.

When I realized late Friday that I had to be in Sydney on Monday morning, I thought about just staying in Australia for the weekend. I opted against it and am glad I did. There is something nice about being at your home with all of your own things that can even make two separate 8 hour flights in a 36 hour period seem worth it. I've been able to do laundry, relax on my sofa (remember that most hotel rooms don't have them so it is a nice change), and most importantly sleep in my own bed. Well worth the miles both ways.

I also came home yesterday to a pretty full mailbox. I had been away 10 days in total so had a good mix of things when I returned. Thanks to everybody who keeps sending me things - I do really enjoy them all! Included in the mail were a couple of bills that had I not come home for today would have ended up being late on. Of course, that required a trip to the Singapore post office to pay them and also to send some things out in return for the mail I received.

I was even able to squeeze in some 'me' time and managed to get a manicure and pedicure this afternoon. With all of the craziness at work lately it was nice to have a little time for myself.

I hope everybody enjoys the rest of their weekend and my next post will be from Sydney...again...
