Splashing In Puddles of Sand

Boxing above my weight

I heard this phrase once from a guy...he was told he was boxing above his weight by his friends, meaning he was chasing after someone way out of his leauge. I like the phrase. Sometimes in life I just feel like I'm boxing above my weight. I get into things and then I start to wonder what I was thinking...

I guess I'm getting nervous about booking my flights cuz I am starting to plan everything. I go from being incredibly excited to completely nervous in a matter of hours sometimes :)

But last night I realized something that made me happy. At first when I was considering going alone I was still always searching for someone who could come with me. Now I dont even give it a second thought. In fact, if someone called me up and wanted to come with me, I would have to give it a long hard think. So I am happy that I have found the strength within me to know I will be alright on my own. I guess I'm just nervous because it's such a big thing, something I've never done before. I've never been 'on the road' for over a month I guess...I've been AWAY for a long time but not without the comfort of my, or my friends, homes :) But I'll be ok...

On a brighter note, Rory who lives on the Gold Coast called me today :) It was great just to get a surprise random phone call, but her news was even better. She got us tickets to go see U2 in Brisbane :) We were supposed to go see their last tour in Washington D.C but we didnt get to, and it's a long, painful story, but we always felt we needed to go see them together since we missed out. So we have that to look forward to!

I am supposed to be at work today but I called in sick cuz I feel like I'm not even human anymore. All night I would sleep for 2 hours then wake up because I was either sweating or freezing, or both. So since I felt so sick I thought I would stay home, catch up on sleep and plan my trip...but I cant focus on anything. I'm still sleeping for 2 hours then getting up, then 2 hours later falling asleep. I am worse than a new born! haha. If only there were someone here to feed me when I scream. haha.

That's about all I have to say....I'm just put a sweater on...but I'm getting hot again :)
