Just a quick update:
I have made it home and am doing well, although the transition has been harder than expected. I am also wildly busy! My dad and Gumby/Melissa are still here, so I am trying to balance sightseeing and hostessing with putting my life back in order. This is also harder than expected!
Stay tuned to hear about how Pepperjack and Batteries Included saved Day 152 and 153 and how adjusting back to life in the "real world" going.

BB - way to go! I just became weepy reading your last three posts. Thanks so much for sharing your blog. Best wishes.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine what is going through your head as you acclimate yourself to life as it was...pre-trail. It has to be filled with an enormous sense of accomplishment, and yet a huge sadness as you leave life on the trail behind. I know this won't be your last adventure (nor should it be)and I hope you beginning planning your next one soon. It has been amazing to follow you on your journey!!
ReplyDeleteSince it's obviously all about ME...
ReplyDeleteWhat the heck am I going to look forward to every day??? Huh?? You're just going to have to start another adventure for which us lurkers can live vicariously.
In all seriousness...CONGRATULATIONS!!!! It's been a real thrill to ride along on your journey.
If you are ever in Santa Cruz, I'd love to show you our redwoods!

Wow, I almost feel like I have accomplished something since I've been along for the ride with you, so to speak. I, too, will miss your updates. Congratulations on finishing, in spite of everything!

In a year or so, you'll look back and reflect on what was the most difficult part of your journey: hiking over hill and dale with painful feet and legs or transitioning back into your other life. Hang in there, Bacon Bit/Dorothy. Through it all, you have the love and support of LOTS of people. HUGS! Jean
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your fantastic journey.
ReplyDeleteDBK my friends who did the appalachian trail said it was way way hard to come back to ordinary life...took a long time. What you were doing was real life chica. Hang in.
ReplyDelete:) Thanks, Annie. I am realizing that is going to take awhile... But today I made a huge step and started putting my gear away...
DeleteCongrats Bacon Bit!! Enjoyed following your journey, can't wait to get back out there next summer.

Hi Dorothy,
ReplyDeleteSo glad to see you last night, successful and back here. A thought, maybe you could revisit the Last-Minute Panic lists, and update us on your feelings about those lists now. I found it interesting to re-read them after reading your updates these last months. Welcome home again. Pam
Congratulations. Your journey and that of the Class of 2012 was magnificent. Thanks for sharing.
