I am very, very excited to heading back to St. Louis in a
couple days. Though the visit is shorter than I planned I am determined to make
the most of it. I confess I had a mini-meltdown over the weekend because I am
overextended during the trip and still had to turn down some opportunities I
really didn't want to say no to. It happens every time and I wonder if I’ll
ever get use to it.
There are a number of people in Colorado that get where I’m
coming from, since we’re all transplants. Going “home” is so special and often
manipulated with unrealistic expectations. There’s so much to do but it’s
practically impossible to please everyone, including yourself. Then you have to
keep in mind that it’s technically a vacation so you should attempt to relax a little
before returning back to chaos at work.
Keeping all this in mind, there are several things I need to
do beforehand so I can enjoy myself without too much backlash. I've got my
infamous list -organized, detailed and ready to be destroyed. Wish my luck!
A few other tid-bits:
-We decided to try Casa Bonita in Denver this weekend while
we were already down there being productive. I’m cheesy and love tourist
attractions and am totally obsessed with Mexican food, so I thought it’d be a
hit. Wrong! The food…oh…Ick, so bad. I can’t go into details but I knew there
was a problem when I realized it was cafeteria style. Bummer.
-It rained on Sunday afternoon again, which I totally love.
Then I don’t need an excuse for doing nothing other than making a midday
desert. Last week was s’mores, this week was Fruit Pizza. This CANNOT continue!
-God bless my chiropractor. I’m so bad about regular visits
so he’s done the last few adjustments for free just to get me in the door. He’s
wonderful but it get’s pricey and time consuming but apparently I need regular
work for awhile. I am totally a convert now. Now that both legs are the same
length, all my ribs are back and place, and my ears have been adjusted
(best.thing.ever.) I am completely committed to making my appointments.
