A little pre-vacation stress...that's normal right?

so its now less than a week to the start of our month long vacation and i am starting to get a little freaked out...dont get me wrong here - in theory it sounds wonderful to be on hiatus for an entire month but as i start to think about making sure all the little things are wrapped up (the house, the pool, the yard, the dogs, the cat, my job, the mail...) the more and more nervous i get that we are forgetting something that i can't quite put my finger on. and then from there i try and tell myself that if i can't put my finger on it, it must not be that important, right? oh well, what can you do? i'll tell you what i am gonna do...i am going to stop writing this blog, get my work done to the best of my abilities, pick up our scuba gear on the way home (for our certification dives this weekend), hang out with the dogs for a bit, get some good sleep tonight, have a great time this weekend diving with my fabulous husband who has done a phenomenal job planning this trip with little to no help from me, and get through the last two days of work prior to our departure on Wed morning at 6am!!! how in the world can i be stressed when i am so grateful to have this opportunity to travel to new and exciting destinations with the man i love? (well in my 31 years i have actually become quite skilled at being stressed but i really want to turn over a new leaf and not "sweat the small stuff" - guess you'll have to check back in later to see how it goes :-) more soon, jori

Hi,

It seems like we've heard you talk for so long about "the sabbatical" that it's hard to believe you'll be leaving on Wednesday! Will look forward to hearing about your adventures & seeing your photos (you did pack the camera right? :):) just kidding! Have a fabulous time, Love Janet Mc

Just remember to come back. In the words of Bobcat Goldthwaite:
