This morning I planned to write that my life was returning to normal. I will have my first weekend off since before Thanksgiving. I've nearly finished re-finishing the piano (pictures coming soon!) at the new house, and I'm nearly caught up at work.
Then a co-worker announced she was leaving - today. I was stunned. And, as always, it happened just as life was returning to normal.
I think abnormal is the normal state of affairs for my life.
I think "normal" should be stricken from the dictionary - and with it, abnormal. Why bother trying to qualify the undefinable?
More apt would be "common" and "uncommon." It is common for my life professional life to be in a state of constant upheaval.
And so, today, I attempt to remain on my feet (in a more or less graceful fashion) as life continues to shift around me.
It is tiring trying to maintain balance (and lately I have been quite unsuccessful, I must admit).
I look forward to my post-Christmas holiday break when, over 1000 miles away from Boston, I will be able to stand still -- at least for a few days.
