Monday Morning

How much will change in 3 weeks when working life as I've known it for 24 yrs - ok 42 yrs - ends. For at least 3 months I will not be working. I'll be traveling to see family & friends; to do dog agility & dog training; to reconnect with myself. That much I have promised myself. Take the time to relax, renew & then to commit. Of course there are a few kinks in things. Friday I retire, Saturday is Dyke March & then Sunday morning we leave for a 2 week road trip through the desert to the mountaing with 2 border collies & a 13 yo toy poodle. We have reservations at lovely places; plans to hike in Zion while the dogs get to be at a "dude" ranch. Time with my partner's mother in gorgeous Colorado mountains. Time - how fast it goes & how much I look forward to not being in such a hurry. Oh - and the other kink - well now that California has legalized gay marriage, we're planning a wedding! Something I never thought I'd write about myself but there it is. Wedding in September (just in case the fickle voters of CA manage to reverse this ruling...ack ack)...It'll be lovely.
