I'm Back - Once Again Dwelling in the Land of Perpetual Damp

I'm delighted to be home again, though one probably wouldn't guess it from the title.  Upon seeing the joyful little faces (and the joyful, adult counterpart face) light up at my arrival back home, I realized anew that I just love my life so much.  I'm surrounded by all these wonderful people who look to me to provide normalcy and routine to their lives.  It's a true pleasure to do it for them, though I've been working today for five hours straight, with no breaks and I'm still not done restoring the house to it's original condition.
