Back in the TDot

I can't even recall when I last posted or where it was. The last week has been a haze. We traveled from Vancouver to Edmonton. We stopped in Revelstoke and had a magical time in a great little place called the Peaks Lodge. We sat in the hot tub out in the snow, and I ate my first basket of poutine. From there we visited Lake Louise, one of the loveliest places I've been. The lake was completely snowed over and grand with the mountains cradling it. I felt like I was in another life for a few hours, the one I always imagined.
Things shifted when we hit Edmonton. I've wiped much of the past few days away as they were heavy with conversations and debates. You know the kind. The ones that continue to bubble up. They're draining even when you're not a part of them. I decided to give myself a date to decide if I want to continue on this wild ride. That's next week when I'm done with an event we're planning in Detroit.
But for now, I just arrived today in Toronto. I knew it would happen and they came. The tears that rushed up from the disbelief its taken me this many years to come back here after moving back home. I still haven't even seen the city! We're staying by the airport and I wonder how I'll feel when I stroll past my old apartment on Queens Quay.
I'll let you know.
