in a week i'll be gone.
i am SO not ready. fucker. i look around this apartment of mine and know all that i have to do.
and i have a cold. either that or my hormones are duckering with my body so i think i have a cold. either way, i'm exhausted, no matter how much i sleep, no matter how much water i drink, no matter that i'm taking 2 emergen'c packets a day.
at least its not happening next week. but still. this does not bode fortuitious for my packing and shutting down my life for 5.5 weeks.
if only i can get everything done, make it too next sunday with everything taken care of! then i'll get time to read my turkey book. to figure out what are musts and what are maybes.
that said, i've been sitting here sipping a VERY strong cup of coffee with lots of sugar. i'm hoping its going to kick in any moment now and snap me into action.
oh yes, and i do know its mother's day. i sent my mother and my sil both cards. my friend s sent along a post about mothers day being all about peace which i forwarded along to folks.
i've been very fortunate to have the mother that i do. she taught me what it ment to be a feminist without donning the label. she taught me how to be independent, to survive as a 4'9" tall woman in a world built for 5'9" tall men. and these days in my frustration over my continued singleness and my great want for a family she reassures me that i do have a lot to offer, that i will find someone to love, to love me back. at 31 i am a lucky girl to be so close to her mother, at 31 i am a lucky woman to have her not only as my mom, but my friend. at 31 i am a proud daughter and only hope that i continue this adult journey of mine that i end up like me, but with a lot of her thrown in.
