Yuck.

Cold sore.  Emergent run to CVS for Abreva.  Lip is ugly and painful.  There is some physical stress in my body, some immune disfunction, some fight still going on.  That's why I'm sleeping 9+ hours a night, tired from regular activities, sore from easy workouts.

I'm doing the right thing though.  Eating well, sleeping, reasonable exercise.  Got to keep it up.  It's only been 3 weeks (even though it seems longer lol).  I must need more time.

Hubby and I had a long talk this morning.  I'm going to end my current job in October and take about a year off to travel and have fun.  We had some wakeup calls this year (2 friends passing and my head injury) and time is precious.  We've worked hard and are in a good place to enjoy some things now.  If not now, when (to quote Oprah).  I'm super excited.  A little scared.  A little guilty.  Change is hard, but it's time.

Rocking chair test - huge regrets if we didn't get to live the dream we've planned for over 20 years!  We have health, money and time.  Trifecta of perfection.

I love my job but a few things are changing.  New "big" boss, new immediate boss, nursing staff shortage, massive construction project starting on route home (4 years of it!) that will jack up traffic like crazy.  Signs have aligned.  I'll miss it though.

Turns out I'm a little crazy (no big surprise).  Took some serious convincing for me to agree to what I know is right - October it is.  Now that we made the decision, I wish it was October tomorrow.  Yep - crazy!  I'll decide on my last day next week when we finalize a few things ... mid to late October.

Got all my stuff done today.  Relaxing on the sofa with heating pad to my back.  I really have a good life.
