Preparing for a vacation

The last few weeks preparing for my vacation, warrants a vacation.  I don't know if its just me, but the amount of extra time I have put into work so that I can leave on vacation is insurmountable.  I have added an extra three hours a day to my day to prepare for everything I need to do, just so I can leave with a clear head.  One, I have to make sure all my staff are in place.  In the last two weeks, I have had two staff put in there two weeks notice, one gave me a months notice and is leaving to move up north while I'm away.  Another said they didn't understand why they couldn't have a vacation while I was away, that they deserve a vacation too,  and yet another told me he was going to Israel the same time we are away. I almost lost my mind.  It all worked out and from the looks of things, I think the rest of the staff are afraid to take off.  So, that's one hiccup. The next is making sure my house is in order.  All the bills need to be paid while away, I don't want anything sneaking up unexpectedly.  Now that I'm nine days away, the sorting of the clothes and what I need to bring is on the list.  My hair needs to be cut and colored and so do my nails.  I have to cater a wedding three nights before I leave,  a graduation party, and a christening as well as run my restaurant through the weekend.  I also have to have in place all my orders and staff for the day after I return, I have a catered wedding that I need to be ready for.  I'm telling you now, I will need this vacation to recover from preparing for this vacation.  It will all be worth it, once I'm on that plane, to Roma.  Ciao
