teary

i've been announcing my departure on-air since monday, and the flood of listener response has been overwhelming. phone calls, emails... numbering in the hundreds. this is far more emotional than i could have expected.

during my on-air spiel, i sometimes mention that i'm going to be a total mess on friday, my last shift. i expect to have a box of tissues in the studio, and will probably sob into the mic. unprofessional, i know... but after 9 years at this place, it's not easy to leave.

so i'm more than a little anxious about The Last Day On Air. there are other Last Things that are throwing me for a loop, too. today, for instance, was my last appointment with my very cute dermatologist. he listens to the station, feels like a friend, and was saddened to learn i was leaving. i got teary in the exam room as he said a fond farewell!

i'm a mess.

and i haven't yet received the repair request from the buyers' inspection of the house. i'll bet that comes tomorrow, too. emotional overload!
