She's feeling it. And I am too. Which is why the losing of the job really doesn't bother (having 15 months notice is a big help). I haven't told Michelle about my impending departure yet. She lives in another city but works for a similar organization and we met each other at a conference and now serve on the same board. I wanted to tell her in person which I may be able to do this weekend.

I think I'm going to pack the blender and margarita glasses. We're gonna need them.
