Tick......Tock.......

When I needed more time it ran like Shelby after the last cookie tied to a racing critter... today when things are done, you're in clean up mode... time is moving like Violet on a cold day and she's got all the blankets...

But I'm down to less than an hour left in this day, back to the hotel, pack, relax mellow out and then up early - early flight - early home - massage in the afternoon and probably sound asleep on the couch before Bubba gets home from work. I am going to work into the office on Thursday - and working from home on Friday - traffic will be a nightmare home Friday before a major holiday weekend so no freaking way am I going to Northern Va!!

I am sure when folks return from vacation they will discover something we forgot or missed in this day of final note taking and clean up so we'll clean it up and move on with our days...

Of course I can tell Bubba is getting cranky - I've been gone long enough, he called about making sure I pay bills when I get home, and other such details that just gets handled without him having to tell me to do it... we'll see what the house looks like when I get home. Although he did say he "picked up" when his father came to visit for the weekend... and he said the threw away my books... right. I so don't think so.

I am SURE there will be choice words when I get home because - well its been a month since he's had the opportunity to whine at me face to face ... oh goodie. He's already said he's bought a new hedge trimmer so guess what we get to do this holiday weekend... double goodie.

Tick tock... still not time to go "home".

I am in desperate need of a manicure... lost another pinkie nail, another one has flakes and is weak and a source of worry that it will snap during the trip home... we'll see. Creeping, slowly... I've printed my boarding pass...

I guess I'm going to have to make a dinner tomorrow night... how about a salad? Actually I'd like to make casserole - not sure if I want to make chicken or beef - neither is good for you.. but they are easy. We'll see what mood strikes me when I get home. Right now all I want is these contacts out and some personal space and my feet up...

My time sheet started Saturday as of today - I've got a full week of hours (40) in... but on the up side I get paid for the OT so I'll work part of tomorrow, Thursday and Friday... plus there is that clean up thing we need to make sure it done...

I have to remember to call the parental units when I get back to DC so they know I'm home out of the tin can and in one piece...

That is all for today - my brain has gotten up and left home without me...
