Today I had a very relaxing day in London. To be honest, most of it was spent in a bus with other folks, but the places we explored were absolutely amazing! It was a 13 hour day in the country and took me to Stonehenge, the Cotswolds; Roman Baths; City of Bath; William Shakespears birthplace and Stratford. I must tell you much how I needed this day (and also wanted a day to breath and simply enjoy life) and not work! I am now on their clock, although Romania is 2 more hours ahead.
Tomorrow morning I am off to Romania, where I will be picked up by a lady named Simona from the facility. I am flying on Wizz Air into Bucharest and then will be driven approximately 50 km. My very large suitcase is packed with the gifts and I am ready! I have been practicing and reviewing my Romanian tonight and going through my checklist. I am quite eager to get there and start this experience, but I have had bouts of emotions…excited, anxious and now feeling nervous.
What do I have to be nervous about? I am not sure, but I suppose that is just the problem. The unknown and something this large that is out of my control is not a good thing for my mind. It is something us “radlets” struggle with on a constant basis. Yes, the lovely C word: Control.
However, I tell myself it will be fine, it is always fine. What doesn’t kill you - will make you stronger. My day of distraction was quite good for me, and now I am sitting in my hotel room and thinking. I must shut off my brain and go to sleep now.
I will be back tomorrow night! Wish me luck!
