Here's what's been going down this week in my preparations to leave the country:
Travel Vaccinations
I started six courses of vaccinations for HepA&B, Yellow Fever, Japanese Encephalitis and Rabies. I've collected meds for malaria and some antibiotics for the occasional bouts of "Pharaoh's Revenge." And I got poked full of more needles for bloodwork to test my immunity to measles, mumps and rubella.
Fun stuff!
Not So Fun (har-har)
While I'm packing and moving everything in my home, there is also some heavy-duty restructuring and remodeling going on at work. Because of the new corporate structure, I have to move out of my beautiful, spacious, private corner office and into a cubical. This weekend. I'd make a fuss about it, but I'll only be there five weeks and I'll probably spend just as much of that five weeks working from home as I do in the office...
Nevermind, I'll make a stink about it. It SUCKS. Feels like a demotion, even though I've not been demoted.
Moving/Getting Rid of Home
-This week I took down all of the photos, vases and artwork in my house and stashed them in my garage. Most everything is being added to the garage sale pile.
Electronic Cleanup
-I've nearly finished cleaning out my massive photo collection and will begin migrating my photos from iPhoto to Lightroom soon. Next up: Cleaning out the iTunes music and movie libraries. What joy is mine.
All the Rest
-Only 5 more weeks of work! I can hardly believe it!
-The Blog redesign is well underway! I've seen the designs for my homepage and a variety of other things and am working with my fabulous designer on perfecting them. You're going to love them!
-There are a ton of other little things going on: writing projects, photography projects, packing projects, giving things away projects, craigslisting projects, work projects... I am literally deficient of several hours per day and making up for that by not sleeping. Not a great idea.
PS:
Between moving my house and my office, my sister just announcing that she and her husband will soon be moving, and my bestie also moving... there's a whole heck of a lot of moving and shaking and changing going on! What the heck? (It's awesome!!)
Are you moving, too?
What are you up to these days?

Are you moving, too?
What are you up to these days?
Human Pincushion! Five of my six vaccination spots. Sorry, no go-go-gadget arm to reach the underside of my arm for the last. :(
Moving for everybody!!!! I seriously hate this part. I've got someone coming to look at the couch this evening. May it sell!!
ReplyDeleteAll those vaccinations are crazy! What's crazier is that you could come in contact with those diseases... whoa.
I need to pack a few boxes today but I don't feel like it. Bleh.
