Countdown

Up since 5:15, looking at the time now and realizing that in 12 hours, I'll be boarding a plane to SJ. Am I ready? Ha.

  • Print boarding passes for tonight's flight as well as tomorrow's trip to Mexico.
  • Need hotel reservation for tonight (thought about sleeping at the SJ airport, but I don't want to be a zombie tomorrow).
  • Need to go to the Kid's school - he forgot his cellphone on Friday, and we found a library book to turn in.
  • Need to go to the credit union and cash a check - doing some administrative work to help out a little church tour group that's going to Mexico in August, and have to buy tickets with cash.
  • Powell's. Fluffy airplane reading.
  • Visit my folks - Dad's b-day, help Mom with a couple of quick things.
  • Finish ripping a few of my CDs that I want to have on my laptop/iPod on the trip.
  • Make a couple of quick lists - one for the guys about kidstuff for the next week, and one for the friend who's crashing at my house for a few weeks.
  • Call the contractor who's doing the fireplace tile work while I'm out.
  • Bunch of work email to send out, as well as setting up "out-of-office" message.
  • Finish corporate required training for 2008; my manager will be pleased.
  • Change work network password so I can get back on the network after sabbatical.

I'm sure there's more, but that's a start. Kid, however, is packed, and I'm mostly packed, too. Feels like I'm more ready than not, which is a pretty good feeling, all in all - but I know it'll get crazier as the day goes on. Ah well. It's as much inertia as anything now, I think.
