Well, finally getting to update the journal.
Things are going well. I had a remarkably pleasant and stress-free Pennsic. It was way too damn hot at times and for the first year I wasn't up there at the crack of dawn fencing my butt off every day. Not sure if this means I am an old has been fencer yet, or if I just needed to take time off. I just did what my body told me each morning, and sometimes it said, hrmmm, rest, go shopping later. It wasn't the greatest Pennsic that I have had, but it was by no means the worst. There were some great moments that occurred, and great memories that have come out of it.
I am working on packing in preparation for the move to the apartment. I want to put as much as possible in boxes and have it all ready to just up and go. This is a little complicated as I attempt to again live out of a suitcase while I go back to work. But I will manage. I have some great friends who have been very supportive over this difficult time and I am happier for it.
Physically, I am tired, as I have been helping someone move, and will be helping another move this weekend, and then myself next weekend. Mentally, I a little stressed with the prospect of starting work again, as my job is not for the faint of heart. I love it, but I need to keep myself centered and find good ways to re-energize myself. Emotionally, I'm mixed. I am very happy these days as to where I am and where I am going. I feel more free, artistic and independent than I have in a long time. But I am still working out the different things that need to be dealt with and which are unavoidable. But I am on the right path.
