22 days and counting!

The trip is getting closer – yay! And with all the purchases I made on the weekend with the girls, I think I have everything I need for the trip.

I counted and there are a total of 21 work days in October. I will be in the office for 6 or 7 of them. Crazy! Next week, I am in the field on Monday and Tuesday, then I work the overnight shift in the field on Wednesday night (Wed 5:00pm until Thurs 10:00am that includes travel time to and from site). So that should be interesting. I’ve never worked a night shift before. Good thing is I won’t be alone, there will be someone else on-site with me, so we can keep each other sane!

Then, the week after that, I will be out of town Tuesday through Friday. The week after that, I may be in the field surveying on the Monday and Tuesday, in the office on the Wednesday and Thursday, and then I have the Friday off because it’s the day before my trip and I am hitting the spa with my mom! Yay! Then, Saturday the 21st, it’s off to the Dominican Republic for 7 days of fun in the sun!

I have been giving more thought to getting a tattoo lately. I have been wanting one for at least 3 or 4 years now. I would get a wolf paw print, likely on my lower back. I have decided while I am in the Dominican, I will get a henna tattoo of something similar and then if I really like that, I will get a tattoo as a birthday present to myself (my birthday is at the end of November).

So here we are at another weekend! Tonight, I get to watch Grey’s Anatomy and CSI that I taped from yesterday. Tomorrow, a couple of CT’s friends are coming over (the couple we spent the weekend in Toronto with back in April). They are a really nice couple and the 4 of us get along great. So, we will likely go out for drinks or dancing or something in town. Then on Sunday, it’s off to Toronto for a leafs pre-season game against Detroit! Go leafs go!
