24 Hours until Departure!

I have one day, exactly, before I need to leave for my big trip. *taking a deep breath*

If anxiety and fidgeting could be used to make electrical power, I think I have enough at the moment to power a small African nation. And inner anger... I dearly love my family, but sometimes they make me really wanna throw stuff. *sigh*

Last night was AWESOME! We were so in the creative zone last night! Many boxes and other decorative things were made, and a new board game was tried out. I felt distinctly non-anxious by the end of the night, and life was good.

Today, I'm suddenly realizing all that I need to do! Packing must be done! Art must be put in neat little boxes! Displays must be planned! Cute wittle jammies must be found! The car must be cleaned! Time differences must be found! Each Ohana member must be embraced!

Half of me today, can't wait to be on the open road! Driving over mountains, down valleys, beside the ocean... meeting old friends and making new ones... watching our art get taken to new homes with new families...

And the other half of me wants to curl up in a ball, under a blankie, and make this all just go away... The pressure of fitting in seems inconquerable. What am I thinking? Driving 15 hours to sell art with people I've never met?! What if they hate me? What if they think I'm wierd? What if they steal my stuffed animal and won't give him back????!!!!!!!

But in the end, I will "suck it up" and go... and love it, I'm sure!!!
