Had some good news during the week – the insurance claim for the stuff we lost in Barcelona is coming through. Still to see final details, but it looks like we’ll get 65 cents in the dollar (not new for old replacement) for the the things that were stolen. I have to use some of that to reimburse my work for the iPhone (that has now been replaced with an iPhone 4 which is very nice) and then we’ll have to slowly get things like glasses, jacket, back pack, camera, etc. replaced.
We’ve been home for six weeks already and things are fairly well back to normal routines. The travel/holiday, conference/workshop and the theft did create a bit of a disturbance in the flow of life. Getting back to home & work, and working on the insurance claim was a huge effort, but I can see a sense of normalcy coming back to life now that that’s over. I expect though, that there will be something else just around the corner to upset the equilibrium soon enough. Not really sure what a normal life is like but there’s the familiar routines with the little drama spikes that appear now & then.
In the mean time I have to still sort out how the budget went, process the photos, and finish some blog posts. It will be an exercise to remember what we did over the last few weeks I still have to write about, but I’m expecting the photos to be good prompts…
