running out of time before I fly
Today I:
* Actually worked some on that paper which should have been done months ago (first time in days).
* Printed and signed all of the 43 pages (two copies each in colour, to be turned in, and one copy in black and white for my files) for my visa application (five official form, a cover letter, and a fair bit of supporting documents)
* Helped archinonlive finish the machine sewing for my winter coat (I do the pining and other prep work, he drives the machine)
* Washed two more loads of laundry (brings the total to five this week, this includes the nice new wool we bought at Double Wars and the various things hanging on the hooks for things that have been worn once or twice, but can probably be worn again before washing)
* Visited with archinonlive's father (and noted that I am able to understand far more of the conversation than last time we saw him--my Swedish is improving--still miles to go, but progress is noticeable).
* Remembered to do my morning situps, my mid-day trike ride (ok, so today's was a very short loop), and my evening yoga
Tomorrow I must:
* Go through the pile of clean clothes sitting on the suitcase and decide what actually wants to go with me to Australia
* Gather up sewing and nålbinding projects for the trip
* Bake a batch of rolls so that I can take a couple with me (and restock the freezer, since visits from his dad today and his brother yesterday meant we have pretty much ran out of the last baking)
* Get passport photos taken for my visa application
* Clean and organize the things I am leaving here so that isn't in the way for the one week to one year that I will be gone.
* Make time for enough cuddles to last me till I get back.
Thursday morning I fly, 28 hours later, if all goes well, I land in Sydney. I don't expect internet access while traveling, but it would be nice...
In other news, I was curious to see the quiz that some of you have been taking which determines which Harry Potter character's personality best matches yours. The questions all ask you to choose between two options. In all cases my answer was either "both" or "neither", so I couldn't even take it. This does not surprise me...
