Vacation Mode, Stage I

I am almost completely packed, and figured out how to get the Pampered Chef stoneware into a carryon. I feel confident it will be conveyed to the East Coast without breakage. Also only having to check one smallish bag, so I will be able to mobilize myself through DIA and the Philly airport all independent like. I have knitting projects lined up, and the spindle packed (also carryon) just so I can show off my newfound skilz to Dearest Sister, Precious Niece, and Eldest Daughter. They are hard to impress, however, so I am under no illusion there.

Walking into work today like it is Thursday (because it is for me, like tomorrow is Friday, since I am out of there Wednesday), all set to coast through these two days, wrapping up loose ends. My peeps had work for me! Agh! Don't they know about these things? Actually, they do. I have a great bunch of co-workers, and they will cover my daily tasks while I am gone very efficiently. But still, Vacation Mode, people.

Knitting Workers met today at lunch. I worked on "Alison's Scarf", and in the last four repeats, I think I have messed up three of them. I have maintained that it is not rocket science, but a scarf, and probably not for anyone but me. I really don't have to strive for perfection in my knitting, especially in a WIP such as this. But I might be to the point of having to take some corrective action here. I guess I cannot talk...or listen....and knit at the same time.

Had errands to run afterwork, in preparation for travel. Wonderful Guy's birthday (and I am very....pretty....fairly certain he won't be catching up on this blog for a bit) is the day before I get back. I am trying to plan some celebration in my absence, and with all the other details, it might just be beyond me. Yes, that's right, the great detail-oriented, organizing/planning, ginormous control freak is admitting that maybe there just isn't enough left in her to.....wait! What am I saying! I think I have just thrown the gauntlet down on myself. I will let you know what I do.

So anyway. Packed pretty much. A few details at work. A minor chore (or five) tomorrow evening. And Wednesday I am out of here.
