Freedom

I've just handed in the last of my keys for the old house. The garage is cleared out, the boxes halfway sorted here. There's no reason to go back unless it's to drop the kid at school. Life has finally moved on. Completely.

Although I'll miss my garden and my view, it's slowly sinking in that the freedom I've craved is upon me! That life is once again mine to live, the way I want to. Driving through those gates for the last time as a "resident" was like feeling a weight come off my shoulders.

Today's a free day all round though. Kid-free (woke up late, only ate what I wanted when I wanted, got to wander around in minimal attire without anyone complaining), appointment-free. The only plans I've had is boxes sorting, and I've done a good deal of that today. Turned up the tchoons loud, danced my way through all sorts of things, and it's starting to look a whole lot better.

3 more days in this weekend. I have only one task set for each day. The rest is free indeed.

And now I think I'm going to go bake hot-cross buns. From scratch. In my underwear or less. Because I can. :-)
