I am not sure what has been going on. I know or realize I am in a strange hibernation mode. I have shut down except for bare essentials. Why? Good question.
My trip was marvelous, awesome, terrifying and an eye-opener all at once. I had a better time at the reunion then I expected, in the sense that large groups of people usually scare the crap out of me. I am not a "small talker". I tend to get all flustered. I didn't as much this time. It was beautiful seeing dear friends. The emotional feedback did get a bit too high. The facebook and blog people were surreal. I have fans? Really? Oh my.
I had a great morning with friends who were so funny, we were all practically crying. I am so happy for my high school friends who managed to hook up with folks that are just as amazing as they are. I did have to leave and be by myself for a while. Too many memories, good and bad were crashing into my brain. My hubby was willing to spring for a hotel. I opted to run away. I drove on up to my sister's new place. The first night was magical as we shared love and tears over certain memories and people. The second night I was ready to go, I made it back to my girlfriends house in WI and just sat back and relaxed. Whew!
I had a list of people I was going to see and talk too, and missed out on. I realized that by not trying to bother people with definite plans of where I was staying and when, I actually inconvenienced them more. errgh. That wasn't my intention. There was also quite a few people at the reunion that I didn't talk to much or get a chance to meet. There was a lot of people there. I was also sadly hung over from my first night in WI. I thought (mistakenly) that my tolerance had increased. Nope.
I ended up getting lost on roads about five times. The bonus is that I figured it out without going to far out of my way. I have such a lousy sense of direction. Yes, I could have gotten the GPS with the car rental. They charge a small fortune for it. I was glad I printed out directions to places before I left. A lifesaver for me, as it helps point me in the right direction. I love compass headings in cars.
Now I have been back and I have been oversleeping and just exhausted. Today I forced myself to shower and dress. I also got some phone calls and shopping done, instead of sitting on the internet all day. My whole little family went out for dinner tonight. It was fun. I already have plans for tomorrow. I have so many things I want to accomplish and do. This trip bolstered me up in so many ways. I did go and it was great. I also have opened my eyes and seen that I have been neglecting myself.
I hate being overweight. I do.
The next step is to do something about it. This is my next project and one I keep having to return to. Enough for today, I am so grateful for all my friends, they are the best.
