Home sweet home?

Finally back home after what feels like forever (I was traveling/house sitting for much of October.) While I'm happy that life will go back to normal (whatever that is) I have to admit I'm feeling kind of 'lost' at the moment. From the half marathon to the traveling, I feel like the past few months have been packed...and now? Nothing. Zero. Nada (well, work, but that's about it.)

I'm hoping we still get to do our almost-annual mini-Palm Springs vacation in the spring, but it may not happen this year with all the scheduling conflicts (plus, while I adore Palm Springs, I'm thinking I would like to do something on a grander scale. ) I feel like I need to plan/look forward to something though. 

I remember when I finished the marathon a few years ago, I was super emotional; partly because I actually finished and partly because it was over -all the planning and training was done and I just felt lost in general..like, what on earth do I do next (there's more to the story, I'm just not ready to tell it yet.) There was a huge void that I struggled to fill.

I tend to be a free-spirit (at least in terms of hard-core planning) but while I don't need all the details of my life planned out, I'm finding that I need something to grasp on to. What that is, I have no idea yet - now would probably be a good time to start thinking about it. 

I feel like I'm having an 'eat, pray, love' attitude, and it's really not that deep yet...more than anything I'm tired and missing my sister. 

Post travel blues - not only do you have to unpack your stuff, but you also have to   deal with the 'baggage' you brought home with you.
