Will has been gone for almost a week now. It’s killing me. I miss him more than I thought…and I thought I would miss him a ton. I’ll be hugging him in about 24 hours.
But I am trying to enjoy our time apart. What I notice the most is TIME. My god, I have so much time on my hands. It’s something I never noticed before I had him. It’s decadent to be on your own schedule and not racing here and there. Frankly, it’s bizarre. On Monday, I was at my desk at 5:30p and realized…’what the hell – it’s 5:30! Go home!’
Today I woke up to a beautiful morning. It was early. So I decided to take my time biking to work instead of racing against my own personal best (yes I’m that kind of loser) and stop and check out all the amazing things that I race by on a daily basis. It only took me an extra 20 minutes and it was awesome.
So enjoy my little slide show of Toronto. And slow down today and enjoy your own beautiful city. Or if you have kids, HURRY UP!
