So I hopped on the laptop today and thought, "I should look at the weather." I directed my curser to the top left corner of my laptop screen and my dashboard popped up. This is where I keep things like a calculator, dictionary.com, BBC world news headlines, the weather for Fairbanks, Indy, Elkhart, Aix-en-Provence, Oxford, and Fort Collins. This is also where I keep various countdowns. Some of the more famous of the countdowns include days till leaving for Europe, days till returning from Europe, days until Josh's return, days until my birthday, and days until moving to Colorado.
I was shocked to discover that we are 15 days away from driving a UHaul to Fort Collins.
It is shocking.
Between job hunting from across the country, play practice, attempting to write a paper, spending quality time with friends and family, preparing to move, planning a wedding, playing video games, and still trying to sleep at night, I've only made small advancements in each category (except for Fallout 3, in which I'm a level 24 defender of the defenseless).
So today I'm listening to Vladimir Horowitz's piano encores to make me feel triumphant and capable. I shall succeed with energy to spare as long as I have "Stars and Stripes Forever" on my day's soundtrack!
The first thing Joshua said to me this morning when I exclaimed that we have 15 days and need to PACK was to stop by the liquor store. What!? To get boxes. Apparently liquor stores have a plethora of empty boxes that are perfect for packing.
