26 DAYS TO GO

I have 26 days to go and 26 days to continue to stress. I can't believe how fast this year has gone and the fact that I am boarding a plane in 26 days is freaky. There is still heaps to organise and I'm flat out trying to make sure I leave without looking back.

It feels like 2004 all over again. The weeks leading up to the trip in 2004 was quite hectic and I was struggling to stay on top. When the day came in May 2004, I threw myself onto the plane like no tomorrow.

My 2005 trip was easier as my parents would be here to deal with anything I couldn't take care of before leaving. I couldn't believe the amount of bills I had to organise to get direct debited from my credit cards. Then I had to organise my credit cards to get direct debited from my savings accounts. It's a never ending hassle. This time I've decided that I'm leaving everything on direct debit.

I finally picked up my ticket on Saturday, which took over an hour to do and I was on the urge to kill someone by the end of it.

I've been having sleeping problems for the past week as work is getting more and more hectic and I'm getting more and more limited time to organise things for the trip. I go to bed exhausted but can't sleep thinking about what I still have to organise.

To add to all of this we have a 3 day work conference this week, which gives me one whole week to prepare documents for my replacement and then also continue doing my usual work. We are hoping to have my replacement start on the 14th of May, which gives me 2 weeks to fully train them.

If anyone has stress relief ideas contact me immediately!!!

The count down is on..... 26 days to go.,.... OMG
