most of yesterday and the whole of today was spent owning this room again; so a trip to ikea this morning, some new furniture, and now it's all been organised and i have all of my things (and my clothes, which used to be in a closet in the other side of the house!) near me. that feels good. i will post pictures when the photo-uploading-laziness is over, at some point (just can't bear the thought of going through the 1,000 photos i took during my three weeks of travelling).
in other ways the situation is much, much worse than expected, in psychological ways more than any other. i am coping though, and i know everything will be fine. it's tough though; never realised how tough it would be. we'll get through though, as a family, and it will all make us stronger.
i'm tired, so tired. still have a cold, i'm still a bit jetlagged... eurgh.
