Today I leave for my mini-vacation before I head out on the tour. Its going to be nice, its been a very long time since I got away from Arlington and DC and wasn't working. I'm just going to hang out and read, maybe wander around on some of the hiking trails near by. A couple of people have said they may come out to join me for a day or two here and there, which will be nice, i always enjoy company.
Then I'll be back in town for a couple of days and then whoosh Im gone on another whirlwind adventure. I can't say I'm not a little bit frightened, but it is a whole new thing for me to actually be out for an undefined length of time. Frankly, I think being a little bit scared is a normal feeling, and if I wasn't scared I would be setting my self up to fall, and hard. The other thing is I feel like I didn't have to fight for it at all, it just fell into place, which feels kind of weird to me. I feel like I don't deserve it because I didn't work hard enough to get it, but it is kind of the culmination of the last 9ish years of working in the field I love, and over all its going to be a great experience. I've got a few plans for while I'm out. Plus I have also been thinking about doing one of those online college degree courses while I'm out to try to get that ever so important little piece of paper. Which, coupled with the tour on my resume, would look very good for the next time I go and try to get a job.
Well, these are all possibilities, and I have a great big expanse of time coming up to pursue all the options. Hopefully things turn out well.
