Yesterday was my last day working for Louisville Metro Government. There was a bittersweet quality to the day. I made several friends working there that I will miss. It was also the last day for four others, but they were retiring. I will also miss the friends I made on the bus ride to and from work. It is amazing the depth of friendship you can develop over 1/2 hour visits daily.
Coming home felt like any other day, yet there was an underlying sense of urgency. I worked on the computer, cleaning up files and then backing them up. I still need to clean up the duplicate photos and then back them up.
This morning, I am slow to get started. It feels like any other Saturday, but I have some things to do. Right now, there is a thick cloud cover blocking the full force of a sunrise. The temperatures are in the mid-50s and there is a cooling breeze. It rained last night. I'm sitting, looking out of the sliding glass door with a hot cup of coffee. I know I need to start planning my day, but I loathe to move. Maybe this is the time I will mentally switch over from the holding pattern of working and attempting to pack to focused packing and planning.
I'm looking forward to tomorrow because then I can get really excited about Hawaii. Today my focus will be packing up the apartment as best I can and to finish packing items for my bike trip.
Well, back to my cup of coffee and enjoying the peaceful view.
