I wish I may, I wish I might...remember when that little mantra, whispered quietly as you stood in your front yard and gazed up at the stars, used to work?
It probably does still, and the the stars probably align at times too, but today I am not wishing upon any more stars, aligned or not. I'm kind of over stars right now.
"One day more" turned into one week more; one week more turned into two weeks more, and two weeks more is still mid-morph. But I am here, in DC, smiling and wishing and thinking about how lucky I am to be here.
Good things don't come easy, but this move to DC has been a bit more difficult than I could have ever imagined. It can only mean that great things are ahead....right?
Life has taught me to be strong, tenacious, determined, forthright, but that being said, futons are not all they're cracked up to be. And sitting on the floor leaves a bit to be desired too.
It's amazing how a simple experience, such as a terrible move, can make you appreciate the little things. And I do.
But still, I wish I may, I wish I might...sleep on a real bed tonight.
Soon.

One Day More
One more day.... that's all I have until the movers arrive and I am transported to DC and my role at Atlas Economic Research Foundation. Working for freedom and liberty.
One day more.... I can hear Valjean and Cosette singing those words in Les Miserables. And Marius and Eponine. And everyone.
One more day.... will we ever meet again?
One day more... another day, another destiny.
One more day.... tomorrow I'll be world's away.
At the barricades of freedom, when our ranks begin to form, will you take your place with me?
The time is now, the day is here.
One day to a new beginning.
Raise the flag of freedom high.
One more dawn.
One more day.
One day more.

DC - Shaken, not stirred
So this CA girl is heading to DC and it appears DC is getting ready, but with a 3.9 quake last week, I am hoping that all preparations are now complete.
A little shaken up, but still DC, and with another redhead in our nation's capitol you can be certain the shakin's not over.
I can hardly wait.
