I'm Home...

Been exactly that for a couple of days actually.
I'll probably spew out the details of tours and what-nots in the next month or so.
But am currently not sure how exactly to characterize a holiday that not only captured your eyes but changes something inside.
It takes a whole new level of maturity to be a concierge and to be openly discussing life issues for roughly 20 days.
Wanting to hold on to that and be that something more right back here is still something I'm trying to figure out.

How do I do this? Where do I start?

Feels like I'm walking on jelly feet.

30 minutes left at home

So my bags are finally ready.
My face will be ready in like 10 minutes.
My lists have been crossed off one by one.

And I'm finally excited! *big grin*

A lot of things went well this week, on an almost daily basis, and it was a tad different to choose peace and to have answered prayers. Thank You, Father!

Alright now, I need to clear this gunk on my face and log off before my dad comes knocking at the door!

-

Yippee! 
I'm done packing, organized and ready to go!!!!

In my dreams.
The only thing I've achieved so far is to bring out the bags and dump a few stuff in them.
And more or less gone to every shopping center on the mainland in a paranoid frenzy looking for God knows what.
I ended up doing a huge clearing of my wardrobe instead of focusing on packing.

Oh! And last Friday, I have wonderful news telling me I'm in for a shower time, like, all the time there.
Like, 1st time in 10 years the dam is filling up from the usual 20% to 40%. 
Like, it's around 9 degrees there and I don't have a single windbreaker with me.
Like, I'm going to be very very very cold. All the time.
Like, a wet me is going to be very very very fun me.

The only tad relief or happiness or excitement was in leaving church this morning knowing that I've wrapped things up there rather smartly. I no longer care what happens when I'm gone. Hahahahaha!
