I'm Free


(Wrote this yesterday but was interrupted and forgot to post...)

I finished working yesterday instead of today.  Sure, I have a little work to do later on this month to finish up but I can do it from home when the work is ready to be done, just some minor editing.

I'm free for the next 4 or 6 months.  I'm on holidays, off, semi-retired, riding the wave, no 9 to 5, hasta la vista baby!

Actually, I'm in shock.  I feel rather numb, it hasn't hit me yet.

I feel like throwing out half of the stuff in my house.

Is this normal?

I want to lie in a hammock with a mojito with a straw.  I want to lie on a chaise at Tiki beach and stare into the Mediterranean.  I want to sit on my front step and contemplate my neighborhood.  I want to sleep, I want to do nothing, I want to sip a glass of Pinot Grigio... or just stay in my pajamas for the next six weeks.

But curiously, I am still running on nervous energy and don't feel that tired.  Last night, instead of going into a coma like I always do on the evening of the last day of work, I cleaned out my bedroom.  Never done that in 31 years of the evening after the "last day of work".

I think I'm going to make like it's the summer holidays like always, then see what happens when I'm in France and when August melts into  September, I'm still on break...

I would love to Bergère. Let me see if this is possible.
