With the Easter weekend and all, I had myself a mini 4 day vacation. I snuck out of office extra early and headed straight to Chris' for the long weekend.
Chris was on call for all 4 days (meaning he's not allowed to go anywhere), so this essentially meant that we were holed up in his room for the whole time....eating, watching movies, planning our trip, and taking care of my swollen elbow.
Chris has marble floors and I slipped on them on my way to the bathroom...and BANG!!...I hit my head (quite hard) and landed on my bum and elbow. My behind was fine (luckily), but my elbow was immovable for the first night. It was painful.
Now (several days since that incident), I'm doing much better. At least, I can raise and move my arm again.
You know, even though it was just a 4 day semi-get-away, I felt like I was gone for much longer. It had that long vacation feel because I was doing such different things from what I would normally do on weekends. So, when I finally got home yesterday night, I had that feeling when I hadn't been home for a long time. And it was nice.
To add to this, the academic term is almost over....3 more weeks and I'm done....so, the feeling of vacation, of getting away, of freedom, of starting new is creeping in.....I feel like it's happening.
And I love this feeling - this feeling you get when you are near the end of finishing something and at the cusp of beginning something new. It really does look like the bright light at the end of the tunnel. The feeling is wonderful......it's actually quite addictive.
Addictive - life should be addictive, no? =)
