It’s always strange when it all starts coming down…not bad, not by a long shot, but strange…and you always end up taking home more than you packed with you.
For example, I have to find a way to pack a porcelain doll, a pair of bright pink and black doc martin Mary Jane’s, two Hard Rock Café glasses and at least one dress. And dammit this year I’m not traveling in my winter coat, so I have to find room for that too….
So as per usual, I start early…I’ve still got just over a week left, but my replacement has already arrived (Ghost Girl is a new hire, so she gets at a week and a bit of training) , so there’s no real point in waiting to start packing. Besides there’s always things that you know you aren’t going to use for the rest of the contract, so it’s easier to get those things out of the way. Since I have a cabin to myself at the moment, it’s easy enough to just leave the suitcase open on the top bunk and gradually fill it up.
I both love and hate packing, but this time? I couldn’t start soon enough. I feel like I should have been home oh…yesterday? Maybe a week ago….
So sue me I’m excited about packing! I did a little happy dance of joy when I realized I could start packing this morning! Because…because I have 8 and a half more days left!!!! That’s it!!!! And then I wil be home! Home with trees, and parents and…my cat! My cat who wasn’t even supposed to be alive!
I am, absurdly happy about going home!
And hey, this year the packing is actually going easy on me.
Home for the Holidays
Happy you’ll be home! And I’ll be here!
Your shoes sound awesome. I’ve been doing a fair amount of packing and re-packing myself this year, and although it gets easier, it’s still such a chore. But I feel blessed I’ve been able to travel so much!
The shoes are a thing of awesomeness (well I think they are, Mum would say otherwise!)
Have a wonderful holiday Pumpkin, I think Mom’s more then a little happy you’re going to be home God Bless!
I am getting that sense! I think her excitement pales in comparison to my own though
