Back Home!

Jimmy and I got in from Europe late last night and I'm already starting to feel the jet lag. I never have a problem with it when I go some place, but when I come home I'm close to worthless for 3 days or so.
It was an awesome trip. I loved every second of it. I was ready to come home, but not ready to catch up on work! There is surprisingly little to catch up on...I guess I trained my team well enough to function on their own. I feel really good about that. The last time I left the country I returned to find millions of problems and unfinished projects. I had just gotten my promotion to director of operations the week before we left for that trip last September, and I feel like I've really had some great time to build my team up to what I need it to be. I've gotten rid of some people and hired great replacements. I have to say that I'm very proud of myself. I won't be so nervous next time!
So I got a voicemail this morning from my Dad telling me that my sister Melissa had just gotten out of her surgery and was doing fine. WHAT?! I didn't even know anything was going wrong! Before I left she and I spoke and she told me she'd been quite sick, but I never thought it would be something that would require surgery. I was thinking more along the lines of it possibly requiring an epidural...I thought she might be pregnant! But no, it was an actual serious problem. I felt helpless that I couldn't be there for her. I may go see her tonight at home if she's feeling up for a visit. I love you Melissa! Feel better soon!
