homebound

I'm going home on Saturday and I can't waaait. Hopefully some exciting things will go down in regards to my future-- but that seems to be quite the roller coaster, so I refuse to hold my breath. However any plans made for the home front are rather dependent on potential future excitement... so I just want to know, people! If I have my way I will definitely hit the beach and go hiking-- I seriously miss naaature.
Needless to say I have quite a few things to achieve before I leave. This is complicated by the fact that I work Thursday night and Friday night and will probably head straight from work to the airport. I booked my ticket completely aware of my work schedule, so I m not complaining, just stating the situation. So tonight my goal is to fold all my laundry (there's a lot of it, folks) and get it put away so that packing will be a breeze (pah!). I'll probably end up packing tomorrow.. since when I get home Friday morning (from work Thursday night) I will be useless and to drag myself out of bed early on Friday afternoon is not a safe bet.
Regardless of how frantic the preparation might get, I am so excited to go home. It has been far too long. While I've enjoyed summer (ish) in the city, I can't help but feel smothered here and can't wait to take a deep breath of fresh air.
Another perk: I took ten days of vacation time during my night shift rotation. Muahahaha! AND I got switched back to days for October (I was supposed to be on nights September and October), so really I only have two night shifts left! Praise the Lord! Miracles happen!!!
