Manny and I got back from Singapore this past Saturday (Jun 28th) after a long and difficult 13-hour flight from Tokyo. It was difficult because I was sick with a cold, which had started bothering me on the Wednesday before. I felt so much relief once we got back to the house from the airport, when I was finally able to lay down on our soft bed.
Once we landed, I quickly took out my phone and turned off airplane mode. On the uber ride home from the airport, I was responded to emails and messages, including ones about scheduling for someone to come cut down a tree from our backyard. It felt like there was a lot for me to come back and tend to. When our uber arrived at the house, and Manny and I were getting out and collecting our bags, our neighbour, who was sitting on his front porch, was telling us "We need to redo our driveway." Our houses share the driveway. I could only respond with a nod.
It's been a lot to come back to, and getting over a cold hasn't made it easy. But I'm happy that I'm back home. I will miss mummy and papa (my in-laws) in Singapore. I will also miss Manny's brother and sister-in-law.
