I got home a bit earlier this afternoon. I'm now mostly packed, but I have to remember my medications and mouthguard and makeup and hairbrush and stuff like antiperspirant in the morning. I've got the pastel socks and a yarn for a new set of mitts in my carry on, and the ongoing scarf in my suitcase (because there was room).
I also started something new:
The veriest start on a pair of socks - these will be for my mother for Christmas (hopefully I finish them in time). The yarn is a West Yorkshire Spinners yarn in the colorway "Kingfisher" (they have a whole line named for various British birds, reflecting their colors).
Another little thing I did was a repair. A friend sent me a Bluey tree ornament but it had got knocked around a bit in transit (it's that "resin" material that is kind of brittle) and Bluey's ears broke, but fortunately Gorilla Glue worked for it
So yes, they're on the tree now
I do have another piece of recently-acquired Bluey merch:
This is one of those little printed fleece blankets. It's called a "travel blanket" (But I'm not taking it with; I had the Suumiko Gurashi one folded up and ready - it is sometimes chilly on the train).

And yeah, I leave tomorrow. It's been hectic, so I have no "time embargoed" posts. I'll try to post a little from the road; maybe just photos. I hope when I get back I have a little time to relax.
