How does it work?

I have figured out a 'go around' for the blogger problem. Long ago I set up an email address that I could post entries to, but I didn't click the publish button along side it. So was never able to use it. Not having a regular computer negates my ability to figure these things out easily.
I am glad that I was able to figure something out. I'd been beginning to think I might need to stop posting to this blog and am not ready to give it up. I at least want to keep it until we set up a regular internet connection, and settle into our new home.
I do wonder about commenting though. How does that work? When someone replies, I get an email notifying me. But often I cannot reply directly though that email. It will be a no-reply@blogger.com email. It also isn't easy to tell my blog pals apart. I know three Deb's through the internet. It confuses me.
Well anyway.
I leave to go home today. Boy am I going to miss my folks. To think of myself so far from my folks, my peeps, is difficult for me to comprehend. I now live so far away that traveling home means a 9 hour trip.
Hugging my folks goodbye in their hallway was the hardest part. Seeing my Pop hold his emotions in check even harder. It is different with my Mom. We can cry and feel it together.
This is such a big adjustment.
We have been watching episodes of Monk a show about an obsessive compulsive murder detective. It is a favorite show of both my Mom and Dad. It shows me my own obsessions.
So.
I am sitting in the airport near coughing people. Who-don't-cover-their-mouths... I have moved twice. There is fresh air right here. I feel safe(r). This is one of my peeves.
I can't say I am OCD about that, not like my inability to touch anything in a public bathroom. I elbow my way in. Wash my hands. Get a paper towel and open doors and use the towel as a buffer. If there are no paper towels, I am screwed. I need to face my fears.
