Wow. Relearning how to relax is hard.

Hi all.  :)

Well, Thursday was my last day.  It won't truly sink in that I'm not just on vacation for at least a few days.  Thursday was the very definition of bittersweet.  While I was tremendously relieved to finally put the stress behind me, I am also heartbroken to know that I won't be with my staff, faculty and students anymore.

In the meantime, Judy, you were so right.  I have been so stressed, tense and strung out that I have absolutely no physical or emotional memory of what it means to relax.  Since Thursday I've been a ball of tension trying to plan every little thing I need to do.  Therefore, I am making myself wait to make any plans for at least a week.  I even let myself take a nap today, and it was pretty wondrous.  :)
