Hundred over Sixty

I have slept like never before in the past few days. And by that I mean 14-16 hours a day. That’s a little much. But there was nothing I could do, really.

Eleven

And so the countdown continues…Even though I have not yet purchased those pieces of paper that will punctuate my passage through foreign lands, seas, and oceans to the other side of the world, my heart is ready.

I have always been a driven person. And an organized one. For some odd reason, I enjoy setting a goal and getting to it. But I don’t like the process of such journeying. I know I should. And I am working on it…
