This is my last month at the cottage. All at once it feels like a very short time, whereas when I started out in November, the time seemed interminable. That’s the way it is with time the beginning having a different feel than then end; school vacation with no commitments on that first morning; freshman year of college with so many choices; a newborn baby waking up every three hours; life in your twenties . But before you know it vacation is over, graduation is upon you, your child isn’t even waking up at home, and you’re celebrating birthdays in your seventies..
I’m going to do my best to live the next three weeks in the moment and not to think ahead about cleaning up until week four. On the other hand, it is almost time for a new routine. I’ll be home for a while and then off to Florence for the last week of April and first of May to wander about the city I love and finish the book that I started there six months ago. I’ll see how it goes. That’s the plan. One thing for certain, I like a change of venue and routine.
