I'm on VACATION!

Well, it's finally here. I did, in fact, make it through one more day of clinic before my vacation. This afternoon when I hid my inbox and printed a sign ("I'm on VACATION! Important stuff to Dr. JS") to hang in its place, that was the most freeing feeling I believe I've ever had. Well, maybe not EVER, but certainly in a long long time.
And then when dh says to me, why don't we just buy all that stuff (meaning shampoo, conditioner, sunblock) at Wal-Mart when we get there--that was a close second in terms of being freeing. Less stuff to pack, more room for yarn!
Except on the plane. I know I'm supposed to be able to take a work-in-progress on the plane with me, but I'm still wary. And since I got new stuff from the company I knit for today, I'm especially wary about taking somebody else's stuff on the plane. Besides, it's more of that teeny tiny mohair, and I won't knit that on circulars (not that I haven't tried, mind you). And the plane people, I'm sure, frown on 13" long pointy wooden bits, no matter how much beautiful mohair is wrapped around them. And my other project is a sock. That's a little iffier. Might be ok, might not. I'm not going to push it. Both of my new projects from The Company (TC), along with my current pair-o-socks in progress (color number=famous year in U.S. history) and a new ball-o-socks (as current pair is currently in the toe decreases for the second sock) will be going into the second checked bag. (which, you will remember, no longer has to be burdened with excess amounts of toiletries.
Only problem with my grand plan of running away for the week and not looking back is that I forgot to refill my Nexium this week. Which means that I only have enough tummy medicine to last me until Tuesday. That is plain unacceptable. Vacation without Nexium is no vacation at all. (OK, doesn't have to be Nexium, but vacation without PPI is bad news bears. I don't really care which brand) Now that I mention it, I may just get me some Prilosec at our anticipated Wally World adventure and just skip going back to work tomorrow altogether. Oh, that's a much better idea. :-)
