Its October 13th and we are on countdown.  Just 19 days before we leave for the West Coast, including today.  Scary.  There is so much to do.  So much to leave behind.

This is the first day I haven’t felt overwhelmed with work.  I should but nothing pressing today, so I’m taking the day to regroup, help Jack, clean, etc.  My office looks like a tornado went through and there is just a small path from the door to my desk.  Part of the reason I’m feeling overwhelmed is this confusion.  Its one of my first chores.

Over the last month I have given two scrapbooking workshops and have one more to do.  I also have to do a presentation on Lulu.

One of the most dismaying things about this trip is the costs that just keep jumping out at us.  Today it was the RV. Took it in for its MVI and an oil change.  Check it all over, says his nibs.  They do and $642 later it is supposed to be ready to roll.  Needed brake pads and a tie rod end or something.  Its just never ending..

But it will.  We’re planning to head out Oct. 31, and by gore, we will.
