The bus tickets are purchased. The laundry is drying now. The rest of our clothes that were already clean are already packed. I have my makeup, jewelery and shoes for the next few days set aside and ready to go and my clothes for tomorrow are set out. Everything at work is set to run on autopilot or with minimal assistance from a volunteer while I'm away.
Four days spent with family and friends I haven't seen in a while is going to be a very welcome break from an otherwise extremely hectic schedule as of late. Then when I get back I have about two weeks until my notice is up for my part-time job and then I have some free time again to enjoy before we get very busy with our baby.
It also struck me tonight that the end of the calendar year is only a month away. It's so odd for me to think of it as the end of the year. After working in municipal government for a few years and doing all of the planning and budgeting based around a July 1 fiscal year, it just seems so odd to think of December 31st as the last day of the year. My mind now thinks of June 31st as the end of the year.
