Packing

I can't believe this is all happening so fast! I mean I knew when I applied (just managed to duck the deadline) that it would be a quick turnaround. But it feels like way less than one month.

Today is dedicated to errands, packing, and reading the final submission. I'd also like to try to finish Steal Across the Sky, but on the other hand, I think it will make excellent plane flight reading material.

I've put out at least twice as much stuff as will fit in my suitcase. Phooey. I also keep trying to pack this small, fluffy thing, but he's as rebellious as ever. I'll try to get a photo of him inside of the case later, when I've recooped some of my energy.

In addition to packing, I feel like I'm putting out a lot of small fires. That being said, one of my favorite OC gals gave me an amazing gift last night. Brought tears to my eyes. It's good to know that when I decide to leave certain groups, games, etc. behind, there will always be a mark - however small - that I've left in my wake. Thank you, Nellie.

I should really scoot off to the store... said fluffy thing will be unenthused if he runs out of food while I'm gone. So demanding!
