Back to the Desert for a Visit

We needed to do some things back in Arizona, and managed to schedule them around a handbook meeting I wanted to attend, and some appointments Heather had. We flew back in mid-March. It was the longest we had gone without seeing Chelsea ever, so it was great to be back.

The air was noticeably drier, and allergies seemed to be more severe, especially with the cats.

The handbook meeting was in Salt Lake. It was 30° cooler in SLUT than it was in Phoenix on the day I flew out. It was great to see handbook folks again. It seemed like it had been a lot longer, especially since I had gotten absolutely nothing done since the last meeting. While I was there I managed to bang out 6 pages of text and vote on an AMS spec, so hopefully I can get back in the swing. On the last day I was there this strange substance was falling from the sky.

After returning to Mesa the task at hand was to move out of the bedroom we had moved into in January, and get everything into the garage. It was stressful but at the same time a relief to organize and purge. It all actually fit in one parking space in the garage. Soon after finishing it was back to the airport to head back to the boat. I was so flustered I forgot one of my bags, but Chelsea retrieved it and saved the day.
