Wow! We’re almost ready to go…

Here’s an update since my last freak out.

Currently, Shirley is at Scooterville getting a quick check-up with the addition of a front rack. (Side note, I just want to add that Bob, Jonathan, Steven, Dave, Nick and the rest are a bunch of amazing folks. They’ve taken great care of me over the past year and I’m so very thankful for all of them… I couldn’t do any of what I’m about to do without their help. Period. So thank you guys!)

Hopefully, any potential problems will be caught before we leave the state.

Things to do before we depart:
1) Mail my suit to New York for the wedding.
2) Buy a 1 gallon plastic gas container for fuel reserves.
3) Water my plants.
4) Make a copy of my keys for my house sitter.
5) Wash all my clothes.
6) Pack my clothes.
7) Buy some beef jerky.
Second coat of waterproofing for my tent.
9) Drive to my parent’s house to get my sleeping bag.
10) Clean my bathroom.
11) Get my hair cut.
12) Figure out a meager budget.
13) Have fun.

I think I can manage some of that…

Another note — after work on Monday, I got into my car and all my fears disappeared when on the radio Arcade Fire was playing Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels). That probably doesn’t mean much to anyone, but Dustin knows what it means. And let me assure you, it’s all good from here on out.
