Here We Go!

You know that feeling you get right after you get locked into a carnival ride's seat but before the thing starts moving? You know, where you have that moment to think, "Hold on, is this such a good idea?" I've got that feeling now. I've checked the clock 5 times in the last 3 minutes. How long until we get to the top of the rise and plummet to our deaths?

I'm up, I'm showered, my clothes are laid out, most of my stuff is packed, I've written instructions to the people who are taking care of my pets, I've packed the dog's stuff, too, my Netflix are nestled all snug in their mail boxes. I need to dry my hair, pack some food, pack some last minute things. At 9 I need to walk out the door with the dog and her stuff, drop her off, drop keys and instructions off at the dog walker/pet sitter, call a car service, suit up and head to the bus.

I am unnaturally afraid that I will not get on the first come, first served bus. I am afraid of holiday glitches like nothing else today. I can't take any more changes in plan, people! Once I get into Boston I figure out how to get a cab and go to the other station because heavens fucking forfend that all the trains go out of the same fucking place. Then I see if I can catch a train to my hometown. I've never done that before. It's a relatively recent development that we have trains going up there and there's never been an opportunity. I might make the 5 but then again I might not. There's a 6:20. If I miss that then hopefully my dad will be able to pick me up and drive me north.

There's some wireless up there but sometimes it's hard for me to log on. So I'll try here and there to get on and if I can I'll post the equivalent of a "Polo!" to your "Marco!"

I hate math and science, they're all full of if-then statements. If-then statements make my brain tired. I'm exhausted.

But anyway, that's where I'll be today...you know...in case you're missing me at all...which I know you won't because, I mean, how arrogant is that? Right? But....you know...just....you know whatever, Happy Holidays!
