joyfinderheroAll packed. If we were younger we would leave tonight, but neither of us really feels like driving into the dark anymore ... at least, not until we're away from deer country and out on the interstate. I thought I'd be packing until late, but actually I've done everything I need to do except finish the laundry, until the Final List -- the things I won't do until we're actually ready to leave.
Like: pack up the computer (and be -- horrors! -- off-line for 12 hours); silence the phones so our housemates needn't listen to them all winter; change my outgoing message; put clean sheets on the bed in case our housemates have company; set the thermostats down in our bedroom and offices (can't do that until I'm really done -- 60 degrees is NOT my idea of working temperature).
So now I'm talking to you instead of finishing my Final Paper for the last of three seminary courses. Not waiting until the last minute, or anything ... after all, it's not due until tomorrow or maybe Tuesday. There's not all that much to do on it, either. But I notice I don't feel like doing it tonight. Tonight I feel like vegging out ... but probably I'll work on the paper for a little while, and go to bed early.
So I'll be off-line during the driving days, and probably on-line at least a little bit each evening. And then in 3-4 days we'll be 'home' at dockside in Florida, and computer use will be back to normal until we go cruising. Once we get settled I'll post pix of the 'little boat' -- the one we live on -- and the 'big boat' -- the project we're working on. And then you'll probably hear way too much about rigging repair and odd electrical malfunctions. The only thing I want to do at the moment is go sailing, but that's probably more than two weeks away.
Oooh -- I get to go sailing in a couple of weeks! Oh, yeah, that's why I just did all this work!
Those of you who know me in person, if you find yourself in Southeast Florida January - March, let me know. Love to see you in the warm country.
