*yawn*

I was up at 4 am this morning to be driven 1.5 hours to the airport to make sure I was there 2 hours ahead for the usual Monday morning flight rush. I am SOOOOO tired. So, I’m hanging out in one of the airport restaurants getting some breakfast, and paying to use their wi-fi. I hate it when they do that….

In other news, my trip has been wonderful, but is now over. Back to reality..to my “life”, and hunkering down to finally, and HOPEFULLY, find a job. The lancasteronline.com want ads look VERY bleak. I am definitely feeling the pain of the unemployed! It’s very slim pickings, so I think I’ll be looking into a temp agency in case nothing else pans out….

I’m very tired today…emotionally, physically. I’m looking forward to sleeping in my OWN bed tonight, and re-adjusting. I’m not looking forward to the reality that is home. This has literally been an escape for me. I’ve talked about Kevin, and thought about him all the time…but being away from my usual environment has given me a nice break. Now, I won’t be able to escape that. *shrugs* And that’s life…

Please keep me in your prayers as tomorrow will be the 7 week mark since Kevin’s passing….every Monday/Tuesday, I am finding VERY difficult getting through it. I’m doing better with each day, but I am finding this journey such a rollercoaster. I’m just exhausted…..

But the vacation was so worth it!
