I'm rested up after my trip home after a nap and some food. I'd say the trip was good overall.

Weather played havoc on travel into JFK on Sat but after 16 hours in the airport I finally got into the air. Landed and tried to get my rental car but we got in so late they closed 5 min before I got there. Thankfully Avis was open and helped me out. The poor guy behind the counter was trying so hard to get a hundred people taken care of all by himself I give him credit though he kept his cool and stayed professional.. Got the car after about 90 min on line and got to my friend's house... when my head hit the pillow I was out cold asleep.

Two days of family and lots of tears really takes a toll on ya... but I managed to get through it all I guess. I'm gonna be sad for a while now that Mom is gone.. but i'm sure she's in a better place and not hurting like she was.

I really feel old now because I haven't seen my family in so many years that they've changed so much and I lost track of them all. Was good to kinda catch up tho too bad that it takes a funeral to do it... but it's hard to get together when it costs more than a month's salary to do so.
