Um, I am somewhat unsure what to do or where to go with this entry so, please, forgive any nonsensical ramblings that you may encounter below.

Day 5
I think it may be best to start with today and work back. 2:55 pm found me seated at a not totally un-agreeable desk chair, I paused, stared ahead, blinked long- really long, and took my first deep breath in forever. Seriously. Today was it, marks are handed in and all of my school supplies are crammed into 3 grocery bags in my back seat. For weeks, maybe months I have started each morning feeling panicked, there was always so many things to be done, people to please and children to reach. No more. I can hardly wait to see how I feel tomorrow morning. Perhaps I should emphasize that this was the last day of SEVEN YEARS of post secondary education, pretty major huh?
*fainting*

okay, she’s back *wipes brow in relief*
Day 4
One very happy high-five from my MD for having lost 11 pounds since January, this was accompanied with some assurances that this was a good way to lose it and hopefully this time it will stay gone. Those who have seen me naked ;) can attest to the fact that my weight has been kind of an amusement park ride for the last few years. Sometimes thrilling, or terrifying, often nauseating and occasionally nothing more than a big ball of cotton candy. Yay me!

Day 3
‘We will miss you Miss Wilson! Good luck Miss Wilson!’ Monday started out with a surprise waffle breakfast hosted by my homeroom class in honour of yours truly. It was awesome. The last period of the day found me shedding tears that I honestly did not know were there when my grade sevens presented me with a box full of goodies including 26 letters of reference espousing my shining teaching abilities. So very lucky I am.

Day 2
The ride home: loud music and quiet, warm fuzzies, reflection, DONUTS and Taco Bell.

Day ONE
They are all so amazing, these Costco members from Seattle that I have heard so very much about and finally, got to meet. Twice over the weekend I made notes about things I wanted to write about when I got home, I am not a little surprised to find that the same thoughts and feelings are still in the forefront of my mind. I can kinda see why one would be tickled to tickle these beautiful people. I am looking forward to my chances to do so at Black Rock City.

*squeezes* to: Elvis, Hank, Princess, Angel, Kirby, Jeff, Wil Will, BillnotDave, Steve, Timmy-Sue, mutant Beni (so cute but too skinny) and mememememememeeeeeee!

All in all, my heart is spinning, my head feels like it is filled with helium and I am loving these great big deep breaths-I’d forgotten what they feel like.
