Getting closer

This week I finished a long overdue investigation at work. I really did not want to go on vacation knowing it was overdue. The investigation itself was done, actions taken, but the darn paperwork was waiting. I feel a whole lot better knowing it is done. YAY!

Having a bat in your house is very unsettling. I'm worried after having my first bat in house episode that I'll return from vacation having been evicted by a bat family. I haven't seen any further signs of bat activity. I can't stop singing "NA NA NA NA NA NA BATMAN NA NA NA NA NA NA BATMAN"

Yesterday I printed out all sorts of lists. I have all of Victoria's clothes chosen and believe we are doing quite well. This weekend I'll get some of my clothes in order and pack one suitcase combination of our clothes. The thought is if one piece of luggage gets lost, one of us won't be without clothes. My luck will be both will be missing. I'm determined to take less toiletries this time.

I bought plane tickets for my work group yesterday. It was a little bit of a chore, booking 7 people's airfare, insurance, printing, writing out checks for payment from each person's account. We're going to have such fun though.

I keep thinking in terms of "in two weeks I'll be..." Two weeks from today we'll be deciding which Disney park to do 'again'. I'm excited about the leisurely pace before the cruise. Last time we were maniacs in California.

Tonight is the last night of Summer Hoops, the summer basketball league. It was a good summer and it went by fast. I think the 7:45pm games are late and will be glad when it's over because it means another step closer to our vacation.

We're getting there!

I made reservations for the dogs to be kenneled. The cost is going to be outrageous but I have peace of mind they'll be ok. Today we received our cruise documents. I don't know why I feel the need to constantly check our passports but I do.

I'm just happier when I'm planning Disney vacations. I really am. We are planning to take some folks we support to Disney next year and I made tentative plans for some homes to rent. Immediately it was a better day knowing I was making plans for Disney.
