The Closer it Gets the Further Away it Seems

You ever notice how when you are looking forward to something it seems to get close very quickly and then when it is close time seems to slow down?

I get that feeling regardless of what I am talking about - whether it is waiting for a vacation, cleaning the house or getting through a big pile of work. The last little bit seems to take FOREVER.

Well, that is where I am right now. I have known my last day of work before my maternity leave is to be December 21 for some time now. The summer seemed to fly by, but that seems to happen every year. October, on the other hand, doesn't seem to want to end.

At least I have a co-worker again and I am not trying to do the work of 2 people by myself. And by the end of the month we should have my mat leave replacement hired so things should ease up for me. The problem with that is time will likely slow down even further once that happens. As it is, I am finding myself irritated faster at things that would normally roll off my back. I can only hope that when December gets here I start just not caring so much.

The one good thing is that as of today there are 58 more days until I leave work for that year of even more work, but at least I can do that new work in my PJs if I feel like it!
