M. and I arrived back in the Bay area almost exactly a week ago at this time; in fact it was just one hour earlier (1:30am) that we pulled into the Extended Stay in Pleasant Hill after driving 8+ hours from the Los Angeles area with a screaming cat and everything we own in a U-Haul.
We were able to get four hours of sleep before M. had to be up the next morning for work at 6:00am; I had a doctor's appointment in the city at 10:00, so we were under a lot of stress as we rushed to get her to work on time.
Even after packing everything we own into a U-Haul by myself, driving over eight hours from Southern California back up to NorCal, being physically exhausted, hungry, and stressed to the max, nothing could wipe the grin off of my face as I approached The City from the East Bay.
I took this footage while driving over the Bay Bridge into the city for my doctor's appointment; perhaps an audiovisual "illustration" will be better able to express my joy at being back in Northern California because I can find no words for how truly wonderful it feels to be back in the bay.
