The Final Countdown

Tomorrow afternoon I leave on my second real vacation since I graduated from law school, and the first one that will include an entire week (!) away from the office. Before I go, I have a ridiculously long list of shit I have to get done, and only a little over 24 hours in which to accomplish it. To fulfill my own OCD-ness I'm putting my checklist here. Sorry in advance for the inanity that is to soon follow.

1. Summarize ADJ deposition and revise. Send to clients with letter.
2. Summarize SS deposition and revise. Send to clients with letter. (Gonna have to happen when I get back.)
3. Review and revise memos summarizing 2 expert calls. Send to clients with letter.
4. Draft and send letter offering dates for Dr's deposition.
5. Draft and revise memos summarizing status of my 5 cases for M client. (almost done)
6. Have conference call today.
7. Maybe, if I have time (ha!) complete research on 3 reply briefs.(not gonna happen!)
8. Make sure I have no other pressing deadlines that cannot be dealt with in a week.

16. Take out trash and clean up cat's litter box.
17. Water plants in front and back.
18. Get nails done.
19. Go to bank and take out $1500 cash.
