The Deep Breath Before the Plunge

I sit here resting (and by resting I mean vibrating slowly) less than 48 hours before I get on a plane for another hemisphere on a Trip to the Future. I feel strangely calm, considering how nervous I've been of late. Work has been like deep sea diving in the La Brea tar pits lately. No matter how hard I struggle progress has been very slow. I think I see the light at the end of the tunnel, though. Just in time, too. On top of work I have been wrapping up the trip planning, which I have procrastinating on far too long. Gotta get started with packing and preparing. Anyway, in a few days my cares will be behind me.
