No matter what was on the agenda for today, it was as if everything was centering on the trip to Coral Springs tomorrow. I didn't finish the blog this morning until about 1:30am -- and then I just could not get to sleep. Ended up getting back up about 4 and staying up for the rest of the day. There were naps occasionally, as I would go about doing a list of what I needed to take with me. Did some domestic things -- and by late afternoon, I was fighting naps so I would not mess up sleep tonight. Think I am ready for a good rest -- have a little more laying out for packing to do. The had part is that this is just an overnight trip -- so I don't want to take a whole bunch of stuff.
Buzzy called just a little bit ago -- wanted to be sure I was coming. Gave me a rundown of who was already there. Sad thing -- Sunny and James came down a few days ago -- and Sunny has been in the hospital the whole time she has been in town. Hopefully she will get out in the am in time for the reception. Told Buzz I would call him when I get in town -- also told him the continuing trip to Key West just didn't work out. Maybe Jarrod and I can catch the shuttle sometime in August and spend a day in Key West.
I really have mixed feeling and concerns about driving to Coral Springs tomorrow. It is only a 4 hour trip -- but it is the first one that I won't have my heartbeat, navigator, planner and companion with me. Going to be interesting to see how much the Garmin and iPhone will serve as a substitute. What seems to be missing is someone to talk to about the trip, to make in route decisions about stops, and what seems like a thousand ghost stories about "what do I do if" -- I'm just discovering how many little interactive details I took great reassurance from and knew that Margaret was there to complete any of my incomplete or unthought of plans.
It's 11pm and I'm headed to bed so I can get started about 8am tomorrow. Will probably not blog tomorrow night -- will pick it up sometime Sunday.
