Here I am at work and of course all I can think about is our trip. Right now all of our stuff is sitting by our front door just waiting to be packed into the van. Its taunting me.
Each year its like this on the last day of work. And each year I think I should have just taken today off. But I know if Id taken today off we would just have left last night and that would mean I would have been antsy like this yesterday. There really is no winning.
And worse still is the fact that I am expected to try to fix this big problem before I leave today But I have to wait until a co-worker can get me a test machine which could be anywhere between now and never. So Im both antsy and stressed. This is not a good combination
So Im doing what all good DISers do in a situation like this write an update to their report Sure I just updated like 10 minutes ago but whos going to complain?
For your amusement (and my distraction) I present to you my final day:
1. I get off work at 5:30 pm today **Oh how I hate Thursdays for this reason. We get off at 5:00 pm every other day. What was I thinking making Thursday my last day?** Once I get off work I will walk to DHs work.
2. DH gets off work at 6:00 pm today. It takes me about ½ hour to walk to his work from mine so we should both be at the van around the same time.
3. We will drive home. If traffic isnt bad we should be home by 6:15 pm.
4. Once we arrive at home we will change out of our work clothes and in to our traveling clothes.
5. We will then fill the cooler with ice and pack our luggage in the van. If all goes well I think this will be done by 6:30 pm.
6. Once packed will go and grab a bite to eat. I am not cooking and doing dishes right before we leave. We will probably go to Wendys because there is one two blocks from my parents house. I think we should be all done eating and on our way to my parents house by 7:00 pm.
7. Although a quick stop at my parents place usually lasts no less than 30 minutes, I am betting that we will have DD dropped off and be on our way by 7:15 pm.
Thats the plan anyway. It is all subject to change at any time without notice. I have visions of DH abandoning work early and being at my work at 5:30 pm with the van already packed. Only time will tell how it all plays out
You will have to wait for my trip report to read about it
Just got back into the house about 1/2 hour ago. We had a great time but are pretty tired from the long drive. I'm hoping to be on tommorrow with the first installment of my TR.
