This happens every time after we return from a big trip. I've been blogging like a maniac. Posting pictures. Telling the story of our travel. Then I get home and it is this big ... BLAH. Life is just going on in its sort of mundane mode and it is so hard to come up with something to post about.
But this time has been a bit worse because of the let down associated with putting off any decision as to how or whether we will be seeking any longer term staying in Europe. I think if we hadn't felt so close when we were in El Campello it would not have been so bad. But being in the realtor's office and talking about the actual prospects made the idea so real. Then the deflation of our last three and a half weeks. So coming home, I have been bummed.
There's also a lot going with Theodora Project. A lot is very positive. But other aspects are very stressful. We are are at a critical point. I will write more about this in a separate post. It is adding quite a bit of additional stress though.
On the positive side, we met an old school mate of Wife's. The back story is they really hardly knew each other in high school. But they connected on Facebook years ago. And they discovered they were both on this mutual adventure and journey of travel. Turns out they are in Albuquerque for a month. We made a date to have lunch. That turned into coming to our house and 6-hours of non-stop conversation. They are scheduled to come over for dinner this Saturday. Hopefully, I will have the foresight and energy to take some pictures and have a good story to tell.
For now, at least I got a post up.

Awww I'm so sorry to hear you're bummed! Hopefully after the doldrums you get some good news on both fronts
I can completely understand why you world be so down. It's hard to figure out the next step and you've been trying really hard to make living somewhere new a reality. Sympathy from Spain from someone who's also really struggling with the effects of that new rental law.
