On Sunday, I broke down for about an hour by myself. Things had just built up - I had realized it was 7 days till my departure, AND the Olympics were over. Yes, I get very worked up over the olympics ;) What made me stop crying you ask? Oh just Prince Harry. What a good guy ;)
Well yesterday was a whole other story. Three separate times during the day I had mini breakdowns. The first of when I was playing a board game - A BOARD GAME - and I remembered that I would be missing out on our traditional game on Christmas Eve.
The next, finding out my good friend Jordan McIntosh (@jordanmcintosh) has his first single being released next week on our local country station ('Walk Away' - request it!) I got so excited and couldn't wait to request the song, and then again realized, I wouldn't have the phone at my fingertips to call that station to request. I cried, which pooled over to my Mum and my sister had to leave the room.
And once again on my way out to have a good time, my wonderful sister decided to point out that I wouldn't be able to see my (not so) little cousin Sean one more time before I left because he comes home from his aunts a week after I leave. This kid is like my little brother so it definitely sucks not seeing him one more time before I take off.
So, I get that this sounds like a real 'pity me' post. It's not I swear. I'm so appreciative of the opportunity I've been given and I know I'm going to love every minute of it. I also know I'm not in this alone because there are many other people on the ship who do the same thing - sometimes now on their 3rd or 4th or 15th leg of being part of ship life. It's more of a post to remind people to appreciate the little things. Like, I got emotional over a board game! Who does that?! This girl that's who. Might have to teach some of my colleagues how to play some Rummoli so I can get my fix while I'm away.
Tomorrow - some good old fashioned Mum&Daughter&Daughter time. Pedicures all around. Should brighten my weekend a bit :)
