Left on a Jet Plane

Sometimes, you just need to get away. Sometimes you need the division of 1500 miles.
Not running away. Not avoiding. Just a vacation away from all the things that were driving your fucking bonkers.

Traveling all day yesterday was beyond exhausting. I changed planes, I changed seats, by the end of the day, I need my drivers licence to tell me who I was. Hazard of travel, I suppose. But with each stop, each change, I felt lighter. Like the Burden of My Daily Life (BMDL) was slowly but surely being lifted. My thoughts and worries lifted and left behind. Clearly, they checked out when I checked my bag.

I feel so much lighter out here... maybe it is the air, the atmosphere, or the altitude.

So, here it is, most of the day into my first full day in LA and I have done... a bit of work. I mean, it is really amazing the things I cram into a day. Thus far, today, there was a successful trip to Target, and important business matter that I handled via email. It is amazing what one can do after a 1/2 pot of coffee.

Separation can be freeing. I am so far away, so removed from all the BMDL that, not even the slight overcast to my sunny-breezy-78 degree day doesn't bother me in the slightest. Being out here is doing what I thought it would.
