I'm packing up now, and getting ready to hit the road. This is one of those moments in life I don't like; I hate when I close the door on my little hobbit-hole, knowing I won't see its comfy warmth for a month. I mean, I know I'll have a good time, I'll bask in the AZ sun, I'll see lots of friends, and hang out with my dear WI friends...but at the same time, I'll be away from home, and that makes me sad.
I have a headache, a neckache, and a backache. I'm very much hoping that driving through Chicago isn't like driving through a box of rocks, like it usually is. Sure, people like to go fast there, but somehow I always hit rush hour or some weird accident or stalled car backup.
I'm so grumpy and tired and waaaaaaaah. Worse yet, I did not manage to finish chapter 76, even though I only have a few paragraphs to go. I'm really unhappy about that. I am printing it out, as we speak, and I very much want to read it and finish it on the trip. I have also brought HBP with me to reread. Once I'm finished with that, I'll write that horcrux hunt story, I hope. It should be short.
Anyway, I'll be available through email until around the 24th, but after that I'll be in the wilds of AZ, and fairly unreachable. :(
I'm buzzing, hoping I haven't forgotten anything, hoping that the drive will be okay, hoping that I won't be in too much neck pain. I'm also excited, in a way; a month away from the internet, though sad, usually means new thoughts, and new excitement for me in terms of writing. Too often while I'm online I'll read so much fic that it all rolls around in my head. Being away often brings new focus. Especially the driving part. Driving for seven hours usually gives me lots of new thoughts.
Oh, and I found the barbies. Will do a Barbie Pantheon post when I return.
I will return on February 13th. Take care, flist! I miss you already.
