It&#8217;s amazing how good your mother&#8217;s cooking or your father&#8217;s advice can be after they have not been within close reach for a good while. I honestly choked it back for about 3 hours after leaving the airport yesterday and have been in somewhat of a malaise today.

It is really tough getting back even after just one week of being out. I felt very behind, almost like I have not been practicing enough. All in all, I feel like I am a little off track. The whole week my parents were here, I was relatively in active and did not eat all that well. In that way, I sort of don&#8217;t like the holidays&#8230; why do we have to wait until these times to do these things.. to get together with family&#8230; to make the foods that we love?
