All I have to do is survive this week and next week, and then I can FINALLY catch my breath. Just a few more meetings, one short business trip, a couple of presentations, a few concerts where I have to be the smiley person working at the information booth, at least one project I have to make some serious progress on, and then I can relax.
Oh how heavenly that word "relax" sounds to my ears right now!
After next week, I'll have two and a half weeks in which I only have to work three days! Woohoo!
In those two and a half weeks, please PLEASE do not ask me to commit to anything unless it involves some serious eating, sleeping, laughing, playing, reading, or relaxing. In those two and a half weeks, "NO" will be my favourite word for anyone who asks too much of me. I promise.
On January 3, 2007, I flew to Ethiopia for an exciting adventure. Little did I know that adventure would continue long after I landed back on Canadian soil. This whole year has been an adventure of new programs, new partnerships, new ideas, new challenges, new staff, new structures... oh the list goes on and on and now I'm TIRED.
There will still be lots to do when I get back after my two and a half weeks, but it can wait. I need a rest.

So, should I phone Julie and warn her not to ask you about bowling? ;-) Oh no, that should be safe, it's playing.
Take a deep breath, you're almost there!
You lead a whirlwind life, it sounds like to me! You've obviously got more energy and ambition than I do! All the best as you cram in the last of it and then savour a much-needed break, enjoying time with family and friends.
I just don't know how you do it Heather, three busy girls, a husband, career, hobbies...
Somedays I get tired just thinking about showering.
You're an inspirational woman Heather. That's for sure.
Perhaps a night out with a few friends...I'd be happy to oblige!
YOu always amaze me with the things you tackle, too.
And a well deserved rest it will be!!
