The Realization

Criminy. I'll be over 4000 stonking miles away by about this time tomorrow.

That's a bloody long way to swim.

On a different note, I'm starting to get very pre-departure jitters. More nervous jitters than good ones, I have to say. I haven't gone to bed yet, and I keep getting several brief spurts of brain waves over the last hour that go something like
Ah,I'mleavingtomorrowmorningI'MLEAVINGTOMORROWMORNING

But for the moment, I'm just trying to make sure I packed my juggling balls.
