Pre-vacation

So I really, really need this vacation next week. The number of balls I'm juggling, both at work and at home, keeps going up and I need to just not deal with things for awhile.

But the process of clearing the decks so I can go on vacation without coming back to a smoldering ruin, and the completely insane week I'm likely to come back to...oy. It makes it feel almost like it would be easier to just never take a vacation.
