I have just realised that I have only two days of proper annual leave left (I timed it so that this brings my old job to a conclusion the day before I start my new job). The scary thing about this realisation is that I have a list of things I want to do in that time. This list includes the following:
- Walk the Overland Track (a five-day 80km classic hike in central Tasmania)
- Label 600 Scout photos (so that they can be added to the archives for my old Scout Troop)
- Watch 5 seasons of Stargate: Atlantis and the only season of Firefly (I’ve had the DVDs for years)
- Find 350 caches (the 350 is not meant to be so specific, just indicative of “lots”)
- Determine if my new kayak can manage an overnight trip
- Take each of my nieces and nephews on an all-day activity
- Revisit about 40 of my favourite childhood haunts (see comment about 350)
- Spend a week on Maria Island (one of my favourite places in Tasmania)
- Finish unpacking and sorting out everything at home so that at least one aspect of my life is organised
- Finish unpacking and sorting out everything in my office (two aspects of my life organised would be so much better)
- Catch up on a blog backlog (lots of ideas and bits of personal history)
- Catch up on a huge number of journal entries that are only in note form or, worse still, are missing (what with one thing and another I fell behind before Christmas … and there are actually some gaps that are hanging around from over two years ago 🙁 )
- Do the large number of work things that I have deliberately ignored but probably shouldn’t have
- Landscape the garden (one of my brothers has sent me some grand plans for my blank canvas … and I haven’t even had a chance to have a look at them)
- Sell my old car
- Get a home phone and internet connection
- Find a doctor and have a general checkup (plus, one of my futsal-injured fingers doesn’t seem to be quite the way it ought to be)
I think I have a problem.
