So; the clock, as they are always saying as if its still original - as if it still has any kind of dramatic impact as a measure of time because it always does it, is ticking.
And instead of winding down, tying things up, closing books and other airbrained phrases which mean 'ending' only use more words and take more breath to say, things are getting...more intense.
I was up, working, until 1am this morning. Revising certain elements of engineering maths, fluid mechanics, stress cycles. Today I am exhausted, because I came into work for 8am. This evening I may be called upon to shmooze. For my own benefit, of course. I'm trying to sort something out for America, for Krissa's and my future together.
So I'm up to my ears in it, but the work I've done so far has reduced the level of intensity a little. Tomorrow lunchtime, hopefully, it will more or less have passed, and tomorrow is my last day at work.
Before Saturday I have to organise all of my stuff, clean my room enough to get my security deposit back, throw away a huge amount of crap, and move out.
I have allocated the whole of Friday to this task.
One week and one day into the future, I am catching a plane to New York.
Downstairs for dancing.


I'm finding myself counting down the days with you guys!!
I'm really excited for ya dude!!
how many hours is it now then? what time on thur do you leave? When are you landing in NY? What time will you be seeing Krissa?
I'll wave at you from my plane as head across to Toronto in a couple of weeks.
G'luck!
9:10 pm on the 7th he lands. Hopefully by 10 pm or so, we'll be reunited. Yes, I'm counting the minutes.
I'm catching the 1830 from Heathrow, and it lands at about 2130 at JFK...about 0230 UK time.
I'm really happy for you, Stu. Will you keep the same blog/email address once you're in the States?
Well, Wendy, email addresses are a moot point - I'll establish a proper contact email soon, or keep one of the old ones, but yes I will be keeping the blog, so for the majority of readers, I won't have moved at all.
It's good to know that you leave the country a couple of days after His Pocklessness arrives, so there will be no significant effect on the population.
Yes, I've been assisting the Good Doctor in his search for accommodation.
I was relieved about that, too.
