"On the road again..."
Lots o' work, with a weird schedule. Lots of packing. Lots of "cleaning". Lots of attempts to say good-bye - or see ya later - to friends, but alas, it's a little bit hectic.
And really, I just want to stop it all to level my gnome mage - - or to see how Rand and friends are faring.
I'm kind of surprised at how well I'm doing emotionally. The only time so far that I even *started* to cry a bit was after leaving work yesterday. Last day at Fish & Game, possibly forever...They're such good people. And such an amazing job. But other than that, I've clicked into have-to-get-things-done mode. Yearrgh. I'm nervous about driving in Portland when I first get there - in particular, about driving Dad to the airport and then getting myself wherever I need to go.
But it'll all work out. "The Wheel weaves as the Wheel wills." <---- I'm such a dork.
Less than 24 hours until Dad and I drive out of here. Drive out of air-banjo country!
It's a good thing I really enjoy road trips. Of course, this is less leisurely than most...Oh, I hope see wildlife! I want to see a grizzly bear eating a moose-version of Bambi, and a bald eagle trying to lift a king salmon too heavy for it.
Clearly, I'm just killing time because I really should be packing up the dishes Mom has bestowed upon me.
