Packing

Alright so thus far this is my attempt at packing my room & packing for the trip at the same time.  I just have a feeling I'm going to end of burying something deep in a box that I'm going to have wanted to pack for the trip.  I keep having to remind myself that it's not like I'm going to an undeveloped island, I'm pretty sure I can buy most things I could forget when I get there.

But tonight I have to close at the roadhouse again (my 2nd to last shift there) and then I HAVE to finish packing my room which means relatively finishing packing for the trip.  My dad and sister are coming up tomorrow to move all my furniture and stuff home so tonight is also my last night in my own bed till at least July.  Taylar and I are having people over for my "going away" tomorrow night and then I'm spending the night at Justine's the next two nights so I don't have to sleep on the floor or couch of my own apartment.

I've been looking forward to the trip for so long that it is kind of nerve-wracking that it is just around the corner now.  The hardest thing is hoenstly going to be leaving behind Jack, Persephone, and Rahjah.  I mean I can talk to my family and friends through the internet and on the phone but I don't think it's possible to virtually have your cat snuggle up to you after a long day.  Someone should work on that.  Jack is, as ridiculous as it might sound, my escape when I get home.  He's my saving grace in a lot of ways.  I'm realizing more and more how much I'll miss him and Rahjah greeting me at the door.  But it's not like I'll be gone forever and I'm completely looking forward to having the absolute best time of my life.

I guess I could have chosen somewhere warmer though.  I added the weather in Paris to my desktop and it was the same physical temperature as it is here, but for instance right now it feels like it's 13 degrees there, vs the 25 here.  I hit up target for another sweater to help layer today along with some black gloves and tights.  Spring in Paris however, will be beautiful.

So now it's off to work and hopefully finishing packing tonight...I'm just really hoping I don't forget anything...but I don't want to over pack either.

Au Revoir!
