I’m gradually crossing items off my list – as of right now I’m half-way done! I notice that packing isn’t actually on the list but I have lots of stuff spread out on the bed waiting to be packed. I even did a couple of loads of laundry today.

I don’t know if it is this new desk but I spent most of my morning catching up on paperwork. I cleared out my In Basket, including the filing that had piled up. I caught up on some Cranberry Hall business (including filing) and I have a deposit ready for the bank tomorrow. There are two Advent calendar game packages ready to take to the post office; getting those packages out was my biggest concern before leaving. I did all my on-line Christmas (and birthday) shopping this morning and I paid my upcoming bills. All that and my desktop is still clean.

We had another storm blow through last night, lasting most of the day. It still looks quite miserable out there but the ferries are running again. It isn’t often that the Texada run is canceled but that happened earlier in the day. It is no surprise when the Comox run is canceled. I’ve checked the forecast and although there is some wind predicted for Wednesday it doesn’t look like it will be enough to be a concern for taking the ferry across to catch my flight. It does add another level of stress to traveling though.

I’m off now to pull out some donation items for the Salvation Army. I’m afraid if they don’t get them before I leave their Christmas packages will have been packed.
