back in the usa

and very tired. got in around 1am last night and very jet-lagged. also managed to lose my power adapter and my us power adapter for my cell phone on the trip. i think the organizational part of my brain was off for most of this trip.

appraisals are all done and they went well-- there was only one that was a little sticky, but i think we're good in the long run.

i'm hoping to spend part of a wknd on my way back to the uk at the end of this month with my aunt/uncle and grandparents at the end of the month. haven't seen them this year yet, so that would be nice.
