I'm nearly done with the camera store ads!! I cranked out the final five I have to do before I leave (plenty more of them to do when I get back....guaranteed employment for a while) and sent them off to Keith for his blessings. I'm expecting to do a few changes here and there, but once that's over I'll PDF those bad boys and send them to the newspaper. I'm still taking my files and programs to Oz with me just in case something needs to be done but I'm hoping not. I'm a little worn out from this week trying to get so much accomplished. I still have one or two graphics-related things to get out but they're not critical to my leaving the country.
No checks came in today! I know 2-3 of them have been mailed out, probably around $600 worth, and I'm depending on them for spending money for my trip. Hopefully they'll be in the mail early enough in the day tomorrow so I can drop them by the bank after I get back from my half-marathon trail run. Otherwise I'll have to come up with a plan B at the last moment. I think something like this has happened before every trip I've made to Australia. I've usually managed to resolve it and when I finally get on the plane, I just feel like all the troubles are gone because, at that point, there's nothing else I can do about it. It's quite liberating actually.
Speaking of the trail run, I stopped by Eddy Jones Park this evening for an hour to partake in the free speghetti dinner and little social time they had. It's really, really cold outside right now and everyone was eating out under the pavillion. I got to see some old riding/running buddies who have moved to Dallas but are back for the run. It's going to be barely above freezing when the run starts at 7:30 tomorrow morning. I'm hoping to be done by 9:40 am latest, stay about a half hour to cool down, then haul back to town to check the mail.
Wow, less than 48 hours before I fly outta here. I'm finally starting to feel like I'm leaving town soon.
I'm beyond ready to see Jonnene. I need a hug from her!
