Breathe, breathe, it won't be long now.

raybearWords can't really do justice for last night's activity, so just go to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mintwaster's journal entry for more details and pictures.
I woke up with my head congested with allergies but my body was fairly awake. Now I'm breathing clearly, I'm showered, dressed, eaten, but can't get motivated to take the next steps. I have a vague to-do list in my head that I should probably commit to paper, to make sure everything gets done before the trip (and during the trip, since I plan on writing while I'm in NOLA). But part of me isn't really stressing at all. I can leave whenever I want, take whatever route I want, eat whatever I want, listen to whatever I want, arrive most anytime I want because it'sthebrownhornet and even if I pull him out of bed at 3 am to let me in, I'll make it up to him in hurricanes.
The general plan now is pick up the car at noon on Friday, come back home to pack up the car, including Sophie, pick up a few supplies, and at some point head out of town. Drive south. Maybe stay near Memphis. Maybe not. Maybe I'll drive all on state highways, not interstates. I suspect I might try to get to Louisiana as fast as possible though, and save my meandering for the trip home, next weekend. But who knows. I was thinking of seeing some family outside Memphis, but I haven't heard from them yet. Another old friend in St. Louis I might call up. Maybe I'll just do the Motel 6 circuit. I seem to have a pretty good track record of getting lots of writing done in hotels.
One of the items on my to-do list is to call Educating Esme and find out if we're doing this road trip in September together, out to California. It's a Highway Summer.
