Counting Down….
Well, the time is growing near for my return to the Ice! Looks like I’ll be headed out on Monday. In the meantime, we’ve got a li’l family get-together happening on Saturday…the Amazing Fantastic Nuptuals of Dimbo and Stella!! It’s been great fun preparing for the big day, and it’s hard to believe it’s here.
I’m more or less packed…it was MUCH easier this time. Having learned my lesson about sweaters (you really don’t need them) I have a lot more room in my bag for awesome things such as socks and cool hats and my Doctor Who sonic screwdriver. I’m also shipping a box to myself which will hopefully arrive sometime before I’m set to go home.
So rumors from the Ice are a bit unnerving so far…apparently the flights are pretty backed up and some people have spent as much as eight extra days in Christchurch waiting for the weather to clear. Now, I wouldn’t mind an extra day or two delay, but I’m ready to get to work, so I think if I were in their shoes right now, I’d be pretty antsy!
I also heard from my pal Lou (who is already on the Ice) a few days ago, and I guess there have been a ton of injuries so far this year. Unfortunately, that’s what happens when you have a short staff and shortened season, but continue to expect the same amount of support from the folks you have. It’ll be interesting to see how we can pull it all together, or not.
Well, I must get back to packing and cleaning and whatnot. I look forward to seeing those of you who are coming to the wedding! It should be a great party!!
