Since deciding my date, marking it in my diary, things have got easier. I guess I finally don’t care anymore. Giving things away, taking stuff to charity, not bothering to top things like more toothpaste or another bottle of ketchup because I won’t need it for much longer.

Seeing people before Christmas has also got easier to because I guess I know that when we say goodbye it actually is goodbye and I’ve got to say it but they don’t have to know what I really mean by it and they can go away content.

I’ve booked a weeks leave. That will be plenty time enough for me to do what I need to do. No one will notice me missing until I don’t show for work a week later. I’ve booked in “catch ups” with everyone I need to say goodbye to before hand, it’s not many but I feel I should see them one last time, to say the usual “Bye, take care of yourself”. It’s time I guess.
