Ready

In a couple of minutes my good friend who is a fellow San Diegan and who is also from my hometown in Pennsylvania will be picking me up so that I can begin my Christmas journey. We leave on a plane tomorrow VERY early in the AM, and will be arriving at Washington Dulles around 3:30 pm, which will have us arriving at our childhood homes around 5:00/5:30ish.

This past week, I was a small bundle of nerves. You see, I really dislike preparing the house and leaving on vacations when Hubby is not here. I really dislike taking the dogs to the kennel by myself (I worry about them to a heartbreaking extent), and I absolutely despise closing the doors to my house knowing I won't be back for a couple of weeks. Because, I'm nervous. What if I forgot to do something I should have done? If I did, it will be all on me. My fault. My burden alone to bear. boo hoo. :(

However, my dogs are currently safely at the kennel. (I am trying with everything in me not to worry that it's too cold outside for them at their outside kennel. And I'm doing my best to tell myself that what looked like might be an infection beginning to form in my Husky's eye is really nothing to worry about at all).

And, I am all packed. As far as I know, everything is squared away.

I am ready for my vacation.

And, NOW, I am getting EXCITED.

Did I mention that I also had a really wonderful talk with Hubby today? I love him so much.

Here's hoping for a wonderful Christmas vacation. I'm crossing my fingers. :)
