Another Monday Morning

The great thing about being on holidays is that Monday mornings don't strike terror into your heart like they do when you're working. You don't have that feeling of dread when you go to bed on Sunday nights and you can sleep in, which I did this morning. The most taxing thing on my schedule for today is getting to my lunch date with the girls at Chiles at 1PM. I'm usually late ...

Actually, now that I've lived here for over two years, I find myself being late for most things and I don't know why. I've always been a very punctual person. I guess the difference is now I priorize my punctuality. If I am late for lunch with the girls, they will just start without me. If I'm late for a beach date, my friends will still be there regardless of whether I show up or not.

But Monday mornings still have the ability to make me think about my week in advance and plan a few things to keep me going. So here is how my week is shaping up so far: Monday - lunch; Tuesday - beach; Wednesday - party at Viva; Thursday - lunch; Friday - beach again maybe; Saturday - quien sabes? (who knows?). As you can see, I lead a pretty exciting life.

Someone recently noted that I seemed to be burning some bridges down here and I'm wondering if maybe I am. Not consciously of course, but maybe more as a defence mechanism to avoid saying goodbye. You know, get people so pissed off at you that you don't have to actually go through the whole goodbye thing. I think they call it separation anxiety.

I don't feel particularly anxious though. I know I have a lot to do before I can leave. The thought of packing up 2+ years of life down here and somehow trying to move it back to Canada in bits and pieces seems daunting but I know I'll do it. That's what living down here has done for me, given me the confidence to know that whatever I attempt, I will be able accomplish it, in some form or another.

Anyway, I hope your Monday morning is a cheery one and if not, maybe this post will give you some food for thought. To all of my blog readers, have a wonderful day and a fabulous week. I promise to try to do something exciting so that I can blog at you again soon! :)
