So happy...

I'm on my way to my family reunion in North Carolina. We are driving there from Georgia. There are 9 of us going all together. Five adults and four kids. We started out at noon in two cars and about an hour and a half into the trip, my sister's car caught on fire. No one was hurt, but despite the additional oil and antifreeze my sister poured into the car, it just wouldn't start. We had to get a tow truck to take her car away. We all had to pile into my other sister's car in order to continue the drive to North Carolina. It is now 6:00 and we still have a few hours to go. We are 9 people in a car built for 5. This has been a very trying trip and we aren't even close to being there yet, but I am happy.

When all is said and done and I get home on Sunday after this trip, I do not have to worry about trudging into my old office on Monday. I am so happy to be my own boss, to be independent, to be a designer. Yes, my office is now my bedroom. I don't have co-workers, and I don't go out for lunch, but when all is said and done, when I roll out of bed on Monday, I will be happy to be faced with tons of beads, wires and tools waiting for me to get busy instead of piles of files, millions of voicemails and impatient clients lined up outside my door. So happy, so happy...
