I’m leaving in 9 days.
But who’s counting?
🙂
Last night was my last workday for 5 months! I dropped off all my business items to my manager. I felt so expansive as I drove home from her house.
Today I took the day off from my to-do list. So now I’m sitting by the fire, watching movies and eating pizza.
It’s lovely to have a day OFF from my list. To allow myself to just relax after so many months of work projects and then trip prep.
The book I wrote arrived yesterday in printed form (up until now I’d only seen the eBook format).
I called one of my dearest friends, Barb, and asked if she could be with me while I opened up the box that contained my book. Instead of her coming to my house (because she is sick) we got on Skype and she watched me open the box that way.
I squealed when I saw and held my book. The culmination of all that hard work last year. Yay!
This morning I sat in bed with my book and spent a lot of the morning gazing lovingly at it. I feel like a momma hen with her baby. It is wonderful to see and feel the physical object that I put so much energy and so many hours into the past few months.
As far as my trip goes…
I’m feeling pretty excited about it. And have had a few occasional rememberings this week that all is not always rosy when one is traveling.
I have begun saying goodbye to my very comfy bed. My daily nighttime hot tub ritual. My dear friends.
Today though I am saying hello to relaxation!
Bye for now…
