It's 10 pm and I'm back to reality. There are two baskets of laundry waiting to be put into the washer, a bed to be straightened out before I go to sleep, and a dress to hang up for its next wearing. I'm home, and I wish I were already on my next cruise.

Although I woke up early after a short sleep, I didn't bother to get moving until noon. There were clothes in a laundry basket left unfolded since before the cruise that had to be taken care of. Of course, I was doing this on an empty stomach, as there was no fresh food in the house to eat. About the only things I had to eat at home other than dried pasta and bottled tomato sauce were packages of instant oatmeal. And that sated my hunger for a while.
Later on, I decided to get dressed and go out as Marian. Once I showered, shaved and made up my face, I noticed one thing - I couldn't find the belt I normally wear with the dress I was wearing. So, I knew what I had to do - shop! This meant that I'd drive out to Paramus to see what Lane Bryant had lying around. About 45 minutes later, I was in the store and carrying a bag with 2 belts and a necklace.
Now that I spent most of my my discretionary money, I decided to have some dinner at a local diner. I chose the seafood over pasta - and I was stuffed! I was lucky that the meal I ordered didn't include dessert, as I'd have to take it home in a pooch pouch. And then, I was finally on my way home for the night with a quick stop at the supermarket to put something in the ice box.
Reality wasn't bad to me today - it's nice to sleep in my own bed again.
