There’s a voice, keeps on callin’ me
Down the road, is where I’ll always be
Every stop I make, I make a new friend
Can’t stay for long just turn around and I’m gone again
Man this time it’s gone fast, which is strange, because the vacation has been longer than usual! That said, my bank account is very glad that I’m going back to work…
No matter how much I prepare for it, no matter how organized I am, the last full day in town always seems haywire. I packed a week and a half ago (which garnered no end of amusement from my family, but at least it means I’m not panicking now!) but there’s always little things that have to wait for the last moment. Printing contracts, scanning certificates, buying that new sturdy chain for the necklace I so rarely take off, picking up the last of the toiletries and medications that have to travel with me. There is ALWAYS something…
And lurking just behind all the organized chaos of departure, is the knowledge that this is the last night you get to sleep in your own bed…
That never stops feeling strange…
In actuality this is my second to last day, as don’t leave until tomorrow night – they’ve got me on the red-eye flight to Montreal – but I am bound and determined to have everything done well before then, except for packing my electronics which always has to come last.
At least this time it’s going to be a domestic flight, which makes life ever so much easier…and I don’t have to pack as much as usual as I’ll be doing a repetitive seven day run, and there are easy shopping stops along the way – that means a lot less stuff to haul with me in the long run.
I’ll miss this summer, as I said to Mum a while back this was what we nicknamed the BSE “Best. Summer. Ever” first really great summer holiday I’ve had since I was a kid! It’s always a challenge to let those go, but at least it means I’m going into work with a refreshed mind and a smile, and that’s definitely a good thing…
Save journey Pumpkin! 🙂 Love you madly
