I owe one more vacation posting with pictures, for those that are still interested (me, myself & I)
This is more about things that you have to remember when you get back from vacation.
-
There will be a large pile of mail to deal with
-
It will take several days to get to the stuff that is not recycled or shredded immediately
-
There will be a large number of e-mails to deal with (at work)
-
There will be a large pile of new work things to complete (unexpected)
-
People will try to leave you alone on the first day back – but not on the second or third.
-
It can take longer to unpack than to pack.
-
The laundry pile will be good sized
-
If you didn’t take care of updating your calendar for the first week back before you left – you might miss something.
Ashlan & I were getting ready to leave work today, and I decided to check the traffic map before we headed out the door. Yikes – traffic looked bad, so I looked at the “Incidents” listing on the side bar to see if anything unusual was up. And they noted that there was a Sounders game at Qwest Field at 7 PM (watch for traffic).
Wait – a Sounders Game?!? But we are season ticket holders, so we must have tickets.
Checked with Carl and we sure did – so home through the traffic and off to the game.
I am so glad I looked at traffic before we left. I would have felt pretty silly if we had missed this one.
The Sounders lost 3-2, and scored their 2 goals in the last 4 minutes of the game – an exciting conclusion. It only rained a bit at the game, even though it poured on the ride home from work. Carl & I used the tickets, so Ashlan could hang with Angela for part of the evening (Angela is 5). They watched The Cat Returns. Then she picked us up at the stadium so we could get home (since we had not planned to go out this evening, there were some things to do at home).
Life seems very busy since returning, and yet I don’t feel like I have finished anything.
