tielan: four lemming toys at the grand canyon (travel)

Damn. I had half a post typed out and now it's all gone.

The holiday has crept up on me super-fast, and rather stressfully.

Most things are booked and sorted, I need to set up tours in Portugal and in Toronto, but otherwise...I think I'm set. I hope I'm set.

Today has been a change in the weather, occasioning runny noses and sore throats. At least, I hope it's the weather, cause I'll be absolutely furious if it's COVID or a flu.

I've been called in for Jury Duty in the middle of my holiday. I've submitted my flight details, which have been booked since April, but which were rebooked in August - luckily beforfe they sent the notice of the Jury summons. Ugh.

I suspect at some point, though, I might have to use the work situation as a defence against being called up.

It's now just past 11pm and I think I've managed to pack all the things I have to pack. PHEW.

A couple of things I haven't managed to do - update my will, and get my power of attorney sorted.

Just sent the itinerary.

Okay, time for a wash and bed. And hope this sore throat is just the weather. UGH.
