On My Own

Well I made it....

What an exhausting week this has been.

What an emotional day. I'm drained.

      4:30 am- wake up with knots in my stomach, knowing i have to somehow say goodbye to my love, Dan

      5:15 am- get to parents, chug down some coffee, inhale some danish and give my cats one more squeeze

      6:30 am- check in at the airport, give a tearful fairwell to my parents (who I HAD to hug and kiss three times each)

      7:00 am- almost poop my pants cause I thought I lost my boarding pass....already

                            BUT  I found it, settle into my seat, choke back tears for more then half the flight  and learn it's nearly IMPOSSIBLE to sleep on a plane.

                      LESSON LEARNED:  must get travel pillow ASAP !!!!!

So I make it to Seattle safe and sound, treat myself to a nice lunch and prepare for another four hours on the plane.

            8:00 pm- touch down in Anchorage ( again holding back tears cause I can't believe I'm really here and doing this) and get to my hotel.

          10:00 pm- ahh a bed to sprawl out on, more tears shed, and crushed peanut butter crackers for dinner...yumm-o.

It is really only 6pm here on a saturday night and i'm getting ready for bed. I'll save the eploring for the morning :) Right now it's just me and some Norah Jones helping me through it all.
