On The Road Still...

Blessed are the flexible because they will bend, but never break.

This quote has been running through my mind a lot lately.  I really like the idea of making plans...and there are times in my life...where I really try hard to make plans.  Except...those plans normally end up falling through because, well, life happens.

So, the plan was that this trip was originally the last one I had scheduled...at least for a little while.  What great timing.  Next week is my birthday, so I scheduled a well deserved day of pampering...because I'm all about the being girly.  Ok...I could barely type that with a straight face.  But I really do enjoy stuff like getting a mani/pedi/haircut.  It's relaxing.  I deserve a chance to relax.

Except, life happened. 

And I got more work. 

Which is awesome.  I love getting more work.  It keeps me busy, and it makes me money.  And I love my job.

But then I kept getting more work.  Which is even more awesome. 

Except, I then had to reschedule said hair appointment 3 times. 

But it's ok...because it's finally happening.  And I can start to see the light at the end of the tunnel.  Instead of visiting multiple states in one week, and being gone all week long, it looks like after next week things are going to start slowing down.  Sort of. Except for the week that I have to go to Newark for a day, take a late flight home, and then do two more days in East St. Louis.  Ok, so maybe life isn't slowing down just yet.

I'm definitely looking forward to normal life resuming.  Because you know what happens when you travel a lot?

Dates consist of watching the Packers on Monday Night Football "together."  And by "together" I really mean I was in NYC, and the boyfriend was in IL.  And we sent text messages back and forth, and talked on the phone over half time. 

I'm really grateful he's been so understanding and supportive of the travel thing.  But to say the least, I'm ready for date night to actually take place while we're in the same room.

So...with all due respect to Willie...I'm changing the lyrics to On The Road Still.  Just so happy to be on the road...still.  And if you need me...I'll probably be in some random hotel room...in some state that I probably couldn't mention off the top of my head...and forget to ask what time zone I'm in, because I don't ever know.
