Leave Taking
Oct. 21st, 2006 05:23 pmIn a few hours I will be getting in a plane and going home :-( I probably won't be back to Canada for at least a year. This is making me very sad.
Do I really have to go home?
We've spent the day doing final odds and ends and going for a nice walk out on the salt marshes. I'm pretty exhausted but it's been a good day.
As a last day treat, we're cooking up some scallops for supper. Which I adore and you just can't get good ones in England. The next time I'm here will probably be for my testing out of winter trip and then it will be the moving trip. At least I've got some things done towards my move. I've also takens lots of photos, seen lovely places, visited with more relatives than expected, done some writing and felt relaxed for the first time in months.
Remind me, flist, to be better about my time and relaxation? I've been over-comitting myself this year which is why I've been uninspired and not as happy as I could be. Remind me that I've got enough on my plate with work and college so I should not volunteer for extra work or projects that I know I don't have time for. Always rushing around to finish things that I've ended up with out of obligation doesn't leave me with much time for fun, creative things. I want to spend more time writing and creating things that are just for me rather than always having my time consumed with other stuff.
At least I'm noticing that and I can take steps to change it.
Doesn't mean that I'll miss Canada any less. In a way, England does still feel like home but Canada is feeling more like home every time I come here and it's getting harder to go back to England each time. July 2008 is starting to look like the perfect timing for my big move.
I may check in tomorrow afternoon when I've got over the flight. Or I may not. Torchwood commentary will definitely be on the way after tomorrow evening :-)
