Encumbrance
Walking in the door,
Disencumber, hang up bag.
Embrace and be home.
I have this routine, a hook I put the bag onto, as well as the wallet holding purse, take out the lunch dish, and worn hat dropped in the washer, hang up coat, hat, while sliding off shoes. Remove glasses, watch, snap keys to purse-strap. As though not really home until I can take all this off and put it ready for tomorrow. Wanting to hug D, and I do, depending on how much bulk I'm wearing, boots, gloves, scarf. Always good to have Moby wander out for a greeting. Takes me a little while to want to engage, talk. I want to simply be happy to be home. But I do need to decompress, stop being the one in charge, all efficiency and high-speed motion. Coast, and be myself, not Circulator! This takes me a while, depending on the day. Today, it took a while.
Weird day.

Nice! And nicely described. I will live vicariously.
Well said.
changing gear as it were
With children there isn't a lot of time to decompress when entering the house. Fortunately, my need to, most of the time, is in line with that.
