Recovery

When you look at North America on a map you realize that it's a really big place. When you drive across even a small portion of it you understand that it's fricken huge. I returned from Connecticut yesterday and there really aren't words to describe how tired I am. I had a wonderful time. I saw the west end of lake Ontario for the first time. The end without islands, the end that makes Lake Ontario look like an ocean. Really, I've never seen anything like that.

During the trip I stood in the middle of Times Square (totally overwhelming), walked on the beach with M, dipping my feet in the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, I saw the campus of Yale University and became nostalgic for my years at Queen's and had a good look at what I want in the long term future. Add to that a 13 hour drive with two very upset cats that were moving to New Haven and 3 days of moving friends and you've got a pretty intense trip.

While I'm beyond tired and am having shakes when I think about the move to Toronto next Saturday, the trip was exactly what I needed. It was great being in a place where it was phyiscally impossible for me to do anything about my job or move worries. So I had to chill and enjoy myself. Of course, doing a little bit of retail therapy at the Times Square Sephora did hurt one little bit either.

I actually made some notes for my blog and I may get around to posting those sometime soon. Until then it's time to prep for the move and get some exercise in.

Today's sing-a-long song: It's hard to choose a song as I spent a lot of the trip listening to US radio. I'm going to have to choose the song that's still in my head.

"In Da Club" by 50 Cent
