Most First-World of First-World Problems
I try not to be a
complainer. Sometimes I am better at this than others. Today is not one of
those days.
Today I am tired, I am jetlagged, and I do not want to get up and
go about my day.
I haven’t been posting
as much as I would like to lately, and that has made me feel guilty. It shouldn’t,
because first and foremost this blog is for me and how I feel, which I am happy
to share with you, but it does. I feel guilty. The posts just aren’t going up
how I’d like.
The real issue is that
I have been away from home too much. Over the past few weeks, I have been
trotting all over the country. Most recently, San Diego for an amazing
conference experience. My weekends for the foreseeable future will also be
spent away from home – next weekend I’m in Minneapolis on a reckless adventure
that will be either the best or worst story I’ll ever tell, then Calgary the
weekend after that. Then I am happily home for one weekend before venturing off
to Morocco for the holidays. Yes, Morocco. Another reckless trip. I’m happy
about all of the travel, but it does leave you tired and homesick and wanting
to cuddle your dog instead of sleep in an airport.
When I’m home, I’ve
been consumed with school and work. It turns out that getting a master’s degree
is apparently difficult. I’m close to being done, but that just means more work
and, even better, navigating American student loans for the first time.
In terms of a life
update, that’s what I have. Things are amazing, and I wouldn’t change them one
bit, but I hope you’ll bear with me over the next few weeks as I go on some
amazing adventures.
If you want to keep up
with me in something closer to real time during my absenses, you can follow me
on snapchat (EverydayCait), Twitter (CaitlinKimmet) or Instagram
(EverydayCait). I’m working on pulling out another few posts, especially as we
approach holiday, but I can’t promise a regular posting schedule.
A huge thank you to
all of you reading this, because without you, all of these awesome adventures
couldn’t happen. You guys rock, and I’ll talk to you soon.
