There was a plan at one point to leave a breadcrumb trail of posts throughout this lengthy break.

So I could find my way back…or be sure that I had gone away.

But as well-laid as that plan might have been, nothing of the sort materialized.

To begin with, this winter break hardly warranted its designated adjective, though these last few days have been covering some ground in that regard.

The lack of cold and snow and need for layers threw me off, and seemed to stretch the days out beyond what the calendar had to say about it.

This went on for weeks, here and there, until it came to an end that was actually a reversal:
from feeling like there was all the time in the world to wondering where it went and continued to go;
from seeing little to no difference between CA and WI, one life and another, to knowing exactly which is which and where I’ll be.

At the start of that about-face, I started writing this, and it will post reflecting that, although it’s almost an entire month later.

I’ve been meaning to get back here to finish this up in a more chronicle-like manner, but instead I’ll leave it at the notes I left for myself below, the much-belated breadcrumbs I scrounged up into reality out of all those plentiful imaginary ones, until I can do the past not-even-a-month some form of justice:

has to come on suddenly, be unexpected
has to happen fast
or I can dismiss it as just a dream
