Let's Organise the Week

 This time next week I'll be well on my way to London - in fact I should be on a plane somewhere over Canada. London - via Canada? It's a story about timing and Frequent Flyer points. 

With everything going on at the moment, I need to get myself organised. There's a lot on, made worse by this being the last week of my contract. There is a bit to do there. 

I also have to make sure my ADHD task avoidance doesn't get in the way. No meds. What fun. 

This is my timeline for the week:

Tonight: 

  • Write up my travel details for Jonella and Blarney (who are my emergency contacts)
  • Write this blog. 

Monday

  • Up early to take the car out Mulgrave for a service
  • Work from home. 
  • Pick up the car once the service is done
  • See Cleo at the gym.
  • Sort out the meds to take on the trip (e.g. decant some oestrogen gel into a suitable container. 
  • Sort out my toiletries bag. 
Tuesday:
  • Work
  • Make a proper list of what I need to take
  • Start organising the packing cubes*
  • Get documentation prepared (e.g. passport where it needs to be, move all my tickets into a folder on my phone)
* If I drag out the suitcase, the cat is going to freak.

Wednesday: 
  • Work from the office. Start handing things over. 
  • Engineering lunch at lunchtime
  • Pick up mail. 
  • Get eyebrows sorted so I don't go to France looking like John Howard. 
  • See Jack at the gym. 
  • More packing cube fun. 
  • Do some cleaning. 
Thursday: 
  • Work from home. 
  • Continue the handover. 
  • Clean out my backpack ready for overseas trip
  • Take the cat over to P&Ks in the evening. 
  • Start packing proper. 
  • Last washing load. 
  • More cleaning. 

Friday: 
  • Last day at work. 
  • Hopefully the courier comes mid-afternoon to pick up work computer. 
  • Finish packing. 
  • Finish cleaning. 

Saturday: 

Jay is picking me up to take me to the airport late morning. 

Then the adventure begins. 

Now, what have I forgotten?
