Keep on keepin' on

Lunch hour errands: run notepad sheets to Kinko's for cutting and binding; get traveller's checks.

After work errands: pick up notepads from Kinko's; do last-minute pre-trip Wal-Mart shopping; get 5x10 print of picture (posted below) for guest book frame; pick up champagne for mimosa punch.

Lunchtime tomorrow: most likely hit Wal-Mart again for last-last-minute trip necessities that I'm certain to forget tonight.

And then, after work, it's home, change into my party dress, bask in the well-wishes at my reception Wedding Celebration, change again into something more comfy/practical, pack, and sleep. Then Saturday morning we're up and at 'em and off to Texas, where I believe the plan is to stop and spend the night in Dallas, before making the rest of the trek to Galveston on Sunday in plenty of time to catch our boat. After that it's a solid week of well-earned R&R in the Caribbean sunshine.

I keep reminding myself of that last bit whenever I'm tempted to whine that we're too busy. Sure, we're worn out and sleep-deprived now, but come Monday we'll have three days at sea to do nothing but sleep if that's what we feel like doing. Bliss.

We're not thinking too much beyond that. Getting back, and getting back to normal, will bring priority shifts, and whole new sets of problems and stuff to deal with. And blog about. But for right now that's all beyond the sea. No point in even trying to focus on it until we get there.
