It’s all happening.
That’s easily my favourite line from the movie “Almost Famous.” It also describes this time of year. Every week finds me with more things on my calendar. It’s good because it is helping keep me from focusing all of my thoughts on my upcoming trip….which is a quick way to drive myself insane with anticipation.
This week – set up Christmas tree (check), do drawings for a presentation at work (check), learn to rock climb (Wednesday), holiday party (Thursday), drink with a friend (Friday), coffee with a friend (Saturday), craft afternoon with Annie (Saturday), new bed delivered (sometime this week).
Next week involves a teeth appt, another holiday party, more drawings for work, shopping the online Black Friday sales in the US, and more catching up with friends. The following week includes a hair cut, dinner to exchange xmas presents with my Aussie girlfriends, more holiday parties, looking for shoes to wear on NYE, and beginning to pack. Then we’re to the final week before the big trip when I need to buy my last xmas present, book my Amtrak ticket to San Diego, finish packing, and start tracking US weather patterns night and day with hopes of avoiding blizzards. How fast is the next 24 days going to go?! So fast!
Any last requests for items to bring back to the US or plans I should be making for while I’m there?
