UK Adventure

19 May, Wednesday: Up at 5:30, 6:30 Denmark time. Worked on email a little more but I have so much more to do. Plus am giving a workshop to the UK staff on Friday so I have a lot of preparation for that as well.

And it’s hard to believe, but two weeks from today I leave the UK to go home. It’s going to be a dizzying two weeks, I know. Besides the daunting task of packing and shipping, I also have actual “work” to do. And I’ve taken back more of my US duties to relieve my boss of some of the load.

Met Kevin and Chris for breakfast at 7:45, then off to prepare for the tradeshow which opened at 9. They set up the booth before I arrived but said it might need a woman’s touch. But it didn’t…they’d done a good job.

So much is going on at home. I feel a real loss in not attending Nate’s, Liza’s, and Jordan’s graduations and parties. Luckily, my sister is letting me chip in on their presents so I don’t have to worry about shipping anything else.

I was so tired from all my past days of walking, that I found it hard to stand all day. Came to my room when the tradeshow ended for the day, ordered room service, checked email, and wrote a report for work. So much to be done. But I’m confident I’ll get everything done that I need to accomplish.

Tomorrow will leave the hotel at 12 to go to the airport. No sightseeing in London, just as I feared. Shoot.
