“I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.”
— Douglas Adams
This would be a good opening quote for an introspective look at the last year.
Meh. I’ve already done that. Right now, I just wanted to drop a post in to let people know that I haven’t dropped off the face of the earth — it’s the end of the year and (as typical) pretty crazy. I haven’t even bothered putting up lights or a tree because I won’t be here to see them. Here’s a smattering of what’s been going on, and what’s coming up.
* Jackie’s getting into a new house (knock on wood) and that’s required some final paperwork on my part as well, so there’s been that going on.
* I’ve got some pretty scary/exciting writing stuff to work on.
* Kaylee and I are taking are first airplane ride together this Friday! (KK’s already flown once, but the flight to NYC is a lot longer — wheeee.) This is going to necessitate a daunting amount of luggage hauling on my part in getting to the airport on Friday, and a similar amount coming back on Monday.
* A few days after we get back, Kaylee and I are off for a ten hour car ride (both ways) back to South Dakota for the holidays! I’m not sure if this particular trip is more or less daunting to me. Certainly, it’ll be a challenge.
* Pretty much as soon as I get back from SoDak, Kate’s flying into town for New Years, so with all the traveling, I pretty much need to get any cleaning I want to do done… umm… now.
(In the meantime, Kaylee’s flying out to California with Jackie! That’s Both coasts and somewhere in the middle in three short weeks for our smallest worlth traveler.)
I’m excited about everything going on, but I’ll be pretty happy when January brings a little normalcy back to my schedule.
