Perhaps I should stay down here in the office longer and try to get some more work finished.  After all, we are leaving near mid-day on our little road trip. But no, I have made a calculated choice to end my day down here and finish in my bedroom with my regular routine stuff and a clipboard to write down anything that I think of that needs my attention before we leave.  I have been here working on stuff, and I know that Sheila has been even busier in the kitchen getting stuff made and washed and ready too.  I hope that we have things covered and don't end up with something overlooked that will come back and haunt us.  I guess that we did leave stuff until tonight and even some stuff for tomorrow, but I believe that we will be okay.  I still have stuff work -wise to do in the morning as a few errands of preparation as well.  I know that even though just driving a car isn't particularly taxing it will not be easy to spend around 6 hours on the road for each of 2 days going and coming.  But they also figure to be quite pleasant as we will be together and we seem to have things well prepared to make it nice.  The next 5 entries will certainly tell you the story.
