Getting Ready to Take Off

Today is my last day of work before I leave town, then I'll be gone for two and a half weeks.  First I'll be going to my mom's funeral in Oregon, then off to Wisconsin for a vacation with the boyfriend and his family.

I really hate getting ready to go, but I love going once I've gotten there.  Well, to the Wisconsin part of the trip, that is.  The Oregon part isn't something that one particularly looks forward to.

I have a knitting project started so I can work on it while I'm there. I got the house sitter all situated to keep an eye on Alfred (the cat)... The dogs are driving to Wisconsin with the boyfriend, so I'll be meeting them all up there. The boyfriend wanted to take Alfred too, but I finally convinced him that cats do not travel well, and it would probably stress him out.
