Feeling a bit strung out

I'm feeling a bit stressed now it's getting really close to our overseas holiday. Having to work right to the last minute isn't helping - I would rather be at home preparing. I'm looking forward to a whole month away - seeing family I haven't seen in years, but a part of me feels anxious at the thought of not being 'safe at home' - you know that sense of grounding when you're in familiar territory?

And I won't be logging into this site very much at all over that month, so will miss all these neat discussions.

Guess I'm just looking for a pick-me-up. :o)

Well, I am thinking if you don't go you never know if you'll get another chance to see family, as tomorrow is never promised!

I'm definitely going and looking forward to it! Just that I would rather be at home preparing all the stuff that goes along with an overseas trip instead of being stuck at work...
I'll be ok dealing with the anxiety. Just when I get stressed/tired that those thoughts creep into my head.

Definitely normal. It's got to be hard to focus on work when you have much better things to look forward to!

I hope you have a wonderful holiday. It sounds like so much fun. We will miss you.

Awwwww, I'll miss all you guys too. I'll try to make notes of all those neat little things that happen (not necessarily touristy things) and share them when I get back. Hugs to all!
