Today was my last real day at work.  I will be popping in a day here and there (for a price, of course) to help out and to train my replacement, but this phase of my life is over.  Three years I’ve given to this job, and though it was a great place to work, I will not miss it.  I must say, though, that it did drive me to finally take the plunge and make the changes that I’ve wanted to make for a while, so something good did come out of it. 

Exactly four weeks from today I will be boarding a plane for Washington DC to start the next phase.  Now that all I have left to do is preparation for my departure, I have entered full-blown panic mode.  I’m having serious doubts about my ability to do what I’m supposed to do.  Please tell me these feelings will pass.

I also found out today that one of my closest friends is pregnant.  I look at our lives and see what different paths we’re taking, and I find it all so crazy.  But we’re both doing what we want to do, so it’s great.
