How many days left in your countdown?

How many days left in your countdown?

Six days to DISNEYLAND!!!

Packing is basically done once I figure out what I'm wearing on the plane and if I need to throw something else in my suitcase for the flight home. I even added a pair of jeans in case it's colder than forecast and my suitcase is still half-empty. I only need to add my toiletries and shoes and I'm all set!

Four more work days, my sister's university grad, and some time with my parents and then I'm gone!

Yeah becasue you and I haven't been known to overflow an EMPTY suitcase with shoes when we pack I'm sure you have a plan though so I'll believe you and your half-empty suitcase when I see it

I had my suitcase packed when it suddenly occurred to me that I didn't have any sharpies packed for my autograph books... When I went looking for my stash from my last trip I could only find one and I need more colours than that so on my way home I have to stop and pick some up.

I also remembered to email myself my packing list so I can double check that I have everything!

Getting really excited now as it's getting so close!!!






...and I'll stop now!

 

[TinkLoverSam]

YAY!!! except boo because I'm not going with you

but I'll give you some of these because it is close


weird I hate when it does that!

So close, are the bags waiting by the door?

Actually there's no room by the door but my suitcase it sitting 90% packed behind the chair in my living room.

Oh my god this week has been insane... My schedule has changed everyday and I've been sleeping in 3-4 hour bits...

Monday I had a day off and everything was fine...

Tuesday I was supposed to work 2pm-10pm and my relief was to come in at 10pm. At 10:15 I hadn't seen him or received a call from him I started calling his cell phone and texting my supervisor. By 10:40 I still hadn't heard from him and my supervisor was on my way in to relieve me At 10:45 he finally called and said he'd been in a car accident on his way in but he was on his way. I told him to take his time as our supervisor was on his way in. I finally left at 11. At 11:30 my supervisor called me and we decided to switch shifts as he was supposed to work at 2pm and wouldn't be leaving until 6am.

Wednesday: Scheduled shift 10pm-6am Actual shift 2pm-10pm. Missed seeing my parents but was able to pick up the items I hadn't been able to get at the grocery store the day before and pick up my sister who finished work at 11pm.

Thursday: Scheduled shift 7pm-3am Actual shift 7pm-2:15am so I could get some extra sleep! Got up around 11 to see my mom and my sister and got a pedicure with my sister at 4pm as a birthday present from my mom. I left from the salon to go to work and my mom and my sister walked home. On the way home my mom fell and possibly broke her hand (the swelling is insane but she wanted to get it checked out at home by her own doctor)

Friday: Got up at 7am to get ready for my sister's university graduation ceremony. We were there from 8:15 to 12:15 then went for lunch we got home around 3pm and I went back to bed until 5:30 I got up and got dressed up again and we went out for dinner... I was staying up due to the lateness of my Saturday shift when I got a text from a co-worker saying she couldn't make it for her 6am shift. I texted back and forth with my supervisor again and eventually we figured out a plan to get her shift covered and my shift got changed too.

Saturday: Scheduled shift 10pm-6am Actual shift 7pm-3am...

Off on Sunday with only a quick appointment to get a quick load of laundry done then finish my packing.

Monday get up at 5:30 am to get ready and get any last minute stuff done. Leave at 7am for the park and ride and take a shuttle to the airport for my 9:30am flight...

I need a nap just reading that all back!

According to Mom she now does not believe it is broken, just sprained as she must have caught it funny under her hand when she fell. She now has almost full range of motion back but not a great afternoon I felt sooo bad for 2 days that I didn't catch her

Is this to annoyingly suggest there is a better vactation spot?

 

[TinkLoverSam]

Ah no it was to annoyingly show off a wedding picture I love. I'm going to DL in October to enjoy the beauty of the park that Walt built and introduce my DH to the original Magic Kingdom.

Hope DisneyAlli doesn't mind but I'm pulling some of her picks from twitter to start her TR a little early.

When she arrived at YYC airport she was greeted with some fanfare. She was a passenger on WestJet's first direct YYC to SNA. Everyone was celebrating!

And they had some free gifts (many of which are not pictured, none of which were her princess Dooney!)

And guess who was there to greet everyone!

I'd say that's a lot of Disney before she was even on the plane!!
