I've decided to go scant on the sleep on account of actually wanting to screw up the body clock in prep for going to the US.

Oh, and alli? My qmail server doesn't like you at salmonczar.com or something. Don't ask me why, it just doesn't.

ps. Happy Birthday, anr!

eta 10:46pm: Still haven't packed. Have mostly tidied room and decanted smelly stuff, but haven't yet packed. Am indecisive on how much to pack and what clothing will be necessary.

eta 11:10pm: Why am I being such a perfectionist about this? Just put the damn quilting material in the boxes and cover them up! don't try to sort them out!

eta 12:03am: Right, we're into D-day. I've packed hw_carnage's wedding gift to finish once I'm in the US, and I'm taking along the scarf I've been knitting forever and ever. (Okay, well, a month. That's forever, isn't it?) Plus gifts for people, assorted clothing - what's the weather like in DC, Atlanta, and New Orleans at this time of year?? - toiletries...

eta 2:30am: bag is mostly packed.

eta 4:42am: all done. time to catch a couple snoozles, then off to the airport for the start of the Mad Rush Journey.
