OUI, OUI !!
So Dave and I are on (D'UH) a major, life-Changing Countdown.
Well, actually we're on so many Countdowns, we've lost Count !
We're counting hours and minutes and days and months and moments.
'Till we can call this home :)
We've only got 5 days left in "our" house.
Make that 7 days if you're counting time in Legalese.
And 4 more days till the movers come.
So 3 more days to get the rest of our stuff gone, gone and gone.
Our house is empty but not quite yet empty enough.
So lots more work to be done "from now 'till then"...
'till we can sit back and put our feet up...
Then we've got
GODONLYKNOWS how many days in limbo.
GODONLYKNOWS how many days till the boat is ready.
GODONLYKNOWS how many days till we've got her back to Halifax.
A wonderful friend of ours is letting us stay at his place.
I wonder if he knows it'll be for
GODONLYKNOWS how many days?
My daughter is still in Spain, and MUMA is getting quite anxious to get a real mommy-daughter hug. So 18 more days till that happens. My son flew out to BC and is now travelling the majestic highways home, seeing firsthand the beauty that our nation has to offer. So 14 more days till they're back and I get more hugs. After all, a MUMA needs them hugs, non ?
I've put in my request for my vacation days.
And submitted my LWOP forms.
They're all approved, signed, sealed and delivered.
I now have 25 more working days to go.
To clear and empty and organize and delete and erase my presence from the confines of my cubicle.
And "sail" away (zoom-zoom) from 14 years of Pushing Paper in this Office. And 6 years of Editorial Work at CJES prior to that. And 2 years at ICOD before that. And IFORGETHOWMANYYEARS in La Belle Province before moving here.
Sitting here thinking about it for a moment, I realize I've been working since I was 12. My first job was babysitting full time for a summer, at $0.50/an hour. Or was it $0.75 I can't remember.
I thought I was going to be RICH when THAT summer was done.
And I guess I was. Back Then.
But Back to Now, that's only 3 more paycheques left for me.
With only 5 more Moandays.
And better yet only 4 more TGIF's.
And today being a TGIF type of day, there's only 6 more hours left.
For that Friday night glass of vino and supper with friends.
Yeehaaa !
