End of a Season (Work)

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.
