Dan always gets really nervous and anxious the night before school starts. I'm feeling exactly the same thing. I feel very very ready, and then not at all. It doesn't look like I'm leaving tomorrow. My room is still overflowing with possessions and boxes to be stored or somehow organized into my car. The only things that made it into the car today were the wooden top of my desk and my sleeping bag. I'm having trouble organizing things at this point. I don't know where I should pack the things I'll need for hiking, versus the things I'll need to entertain myself in the car. Everything is a bit mixed up. The clutter is probably infesting my brain.
At least I got a good amount of packing done. Clothes are very important, and those I have organized and ready. AAA in Franklin saw me for over an hour today. Ozzie was very helpful and I now have many maps and complete directions. My Mimi gave me a care package of useful on the road things, and my Bubba had a beer with me. I said goodbye to my Grandma, in a way, because I know I'll see her a thousand times on my way to California.
I said goodbye to my Dad because he'll wake up before me tomorrow. The reality of what I'm doing is starting to set in. Sleep will be difficult, but at this point that's what I need the most.
