the croozin must come to an end
May. 13th, 2008 05:32 pmit's officially over. my time on the atlantic abruptly came to an end on may 9. i stepped back onto land with a myriad of cuts and bruises (fell off a scooter in mexico) and a year older. but i also came back with good memories, a measly few pounds of excess weight, and the comforting companionship of the boy, who i'm still madly in love with.
returning to new york was equally emotional and cathartic. as usual, i breathed a sigh of relief when i saw that my beloved east village had not burned down. upon seeing my cats, i was overjoyed to find them healthy and not angry (although a bit too needy). the softness of my very own bed almost made me weep with joy. i felt truly blessed to have this life.
and then i went back to work.
it's kind of been all downhill since then.
now i've got a countdown going. i know i am being overly optimistic when i say i can remain a lawyer until december 31, 2012, but since when has that ever stopped me. after running the dates through a countdown calculator, i now have a number. and that number is 1,693. as in, 1,693 days. that, of course, includes all vacations, weekends, etc. still seems huge and daunting doesn't it? but still, it helps. if everyday, i can just knock off one more day, i think it may help me cope with being in a profession i have no passion for.
