Leaving on a jet plane

I woke up this morning singing - and have had a hard time stopping.

Yes friends, my bags are packed and loaded. My work computer is cleared out. My desk is empty (and my mind is soon to follow).

Today is a good day and very long awaited. I have exactly one hour of work left before catching the train to the airport and flying out to Washington. Tonight I will get to see my doggie and my husband after three weeks apart, as well as partaking in a solid six weeks of vacation full of relaxation and family/friend time.

For those of you who know me, you know that I have been anxiously awaiting this day for a good long while. Work has been stressful and very trying the last year or so, which makes the rest of life a little bit ... sticky. But I am about to leave all that behind me and move on to the next chapter in our lives.

And I tell you ... it feels oh so good.
