Okay, I've stopped being manic now.
You know those smileys that have a big wide teeth-filled grin? That's me. I feel like I've accomplished stuff today. It mightn't be much but the whole symbology of it means something to me. In the past two and a half hours (because my morning was taken up by work), I have sent off some more parcels, put in my dry-cleaning and got my travel documents from my travel agent.
The first part is a continuation of my send-ahead scheme coming to fruition; I have one more parcel, The Big One, to send, which I will do on Tuesday (pay day). While I decided everything that was going into the first lot of parcels a few months ago, it's a significant step in that I've started to do my packing. I have sent things to America for me to pick up.
The second thing is an important milestone because it means I have decided on some things I am going to take. Sure, I may have already done that, but in my mind, it means I've started packing. It may not be in my suitcase -yet-, but I've got some idea of what I'm going to have with me.
And the last part has to do with the means of getting there. Speaking of which, there's some things in it I need to fill out.
But, yes. I've set myself the challenge of getting to America, and now I feel like I've taken the first few good strides about it. Perhaps it's ironic that such a thing should occur on the 9th last day: it's my favourite number.
