I actually went to bed last night @ 7:30PM and I must have died since I don't remember a thing until my alarm went off at 5:30 this morning.   It felt so great to take a shower and get ready for work in my own home after living out of a suitcase for two weeks.  I can actually wash the make up off my face and there is something there to wash off.  The sea breeze in Muizenberg was sometimes so strong that I swear that when I went to wash my face before bedtime there was nothing to wash off.  I think that the little grains of blowing sand was actually exfoliating the skin on my face!
While I was driving to work this morning, it seemed so strange to be on the right side of the road.  After being on the left side of the road for two weeks, I had to think about the situation.  I do believe, however, that we are definitely driving in the correct lane.  Silly British!
I spent the day putting fires out at work and managed to hang in there.  Another night or two of decent sleep and I should be good to go again.  Went to the grocery store tonite after work because I had nothing to eat that did not require a lot of effort to prepare and I just didn't think I could handle that.
Hopefully, I will be able to download the last of my pix tomorrow night and get some more posted on this blog as well as on Facebook.  I took about 800 pictures and I know that some editing is needed before I put them together in final form on a DVD. 
Oh, yes, Urszula spent about two hours on the phone today and finally found our luggage which actually is in St. Louis now.  It is supposed to be brought out to their home tomorrow and they will drop my bag off to me at school.  I can't wait to see if it all survived the trip.
Oh, yes, Edward (my giraffe) has settled in very well and seems to enjoy that he is living with my plants in the living room.  I think he is even smiling...
More to come....
