Holy @#$!

I did it. I shut down the computers, turned in my badge, and drove on outta there. I'm now in Los Angeles calling a square dance.

It hasn't sunk in yet. Last night I was so stressed about all the last-minute stuff that I slept about three and a quarter hours. (This was handy. I got a lot done.) But you can imagine how keyed up I've been all day. My shoulders haven't unknotted yet.

I suspect that tonight -- I suspect that somewhere between the time I fall asleep and the time I realize there's absolutely no need to get up on time, it will sink in then. :-)

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In a way, I found that different parts of the career change took hours, days, months, or even years to settle in in different ways, it was kinda cool getting to observe the process of how changing careers sort of reframed the way I look at myself and the world around me. I hope you have as much fun with that process as I did. :)

And how did waking up with no deadline feel this morning, then? Fantastic, fabulous, and freaky all at one?

You're an inspiration to anybody who wants to make changes!

Congratulations! It must really feel good to be getting on with the next phase of life. I hope you're having fun at Trailblazers - say 'hi' to everyone for me.
