Countdown to Ca

Less than 2 weeks to see some California family. I'm so excited to see G & Mak! We're staying with Margie & Grandma. I must see my Goleta Lunas (Sue, Gil & A). I feel a little overwhelmed about trying to coordinate all of it, but each hug will be amazing!
I'm plotting to visit Mina in Alaska. It feels like I've been trying to make it happen forever,  but it's beginning to look like a real possibility. Jc has been setting the money aside for it. He's such a loving husband!
I have gotten all my id paperwork done. Next step is to get my passport & travel off this continent. I have no clue where I want to go 1st. I've wanted to see Paris since I was small. Now that I'm grown I'm not sure. I know Grandma Rosie said Scandinavia. There are many things that I look back & regret I failed to follow her advice. I think JC wanted to see Jerusalem, and although it never occurred to me before, that sounds like it could be an amazing experience. Of course,  life happens while you're making plans. Maybe I'll get my passport & there will be an opportunity that comes up to see Bangkok, Sidney or ???
Of course, past all these traveling dreams,  I need to figure out how to enjoy the day to day reality. Jc & Molly are wonderful. Work is kind of weird. I feel like I would be great at the actual work if I could just figure out how to have normal direct social interaction - which is absolutely unnerving. It's like I'd be great at the job except for my personality. And yes,  I am up at this hour because I have anxiety about how to reformat myself to be someone who "plays well with others". I need to get past my cynicism about it & make it happen. The idea of how to incorporate the necessary soft skills for work and still being genuinely myself is daunting. The opportunity wouldn't arise if there wasn't a possible solution.
Time to attempt a quick nap before work.
