Pre-cruise trepidation...
Work yesterday was pretty dreadful. I had to cover Aja's job and mine; work-flow was at a higher volume than usual; we're testing a new system and had to have two meetings about it and one of my coworkers had to get taken to the Emergency Room because her nose wouldn't stop bleeding. Just another winning day at CMG. I didn't even get five minutes to eat lunch or make up a packing list as I'd planned, so a day that was supposed to be filled with cruise excitement was mostly filled with work dread and anxiety.
I stopped on the way home to go tanning and buy myself dinner, which made me feel slightly better and my mom helped me pack and get organized. I'm still sort of in disbelief that I'm going on this cruise - it's like I won a lottery and I'm really not sure what to do with that. I know I paid and I've been planning it so many months in advance, but it still feels a little surreal now that it's finally here. I should brimming with excitement, but I keep waiting for the rug to be pulled out from under my feet. I think it will all feel more real when I'm actually in Miami this afternoon with Laura and Angela.
I'm not bringing my computer, so I'm going to hand-journal for a few days and I think it will be a good exercise for me. I also want to use this time to eat a bit healthier and clear my mind. With all the traveling I've done in the past two months - Chicago, Wisconsin, Connecticut, New York...I haven't really had a chance to be introspective and organize my own life.
I love you all truly. Some sun is just what I need.
