37 Days

I woke up this morning and I was still extremely happy from the Skype Video Call with Kelly and Kenney last night. I even reread the text a few times before getting out of bed. This trip can't be coming up any slower. It's almost physically impossible for time to be passing at a slower rate than it has been.

I showered this morning and did some more light packing. Now in addition to all the undies, socks and swimsuits I'll need while out there, I have three sundresses, four tops, a pair of sandals, and a pair of Soffe shorts packed. I'm getting it done slowly but surely... and pretty early too. I leave next Saturday and I'm about halfway packed. I do have a method to this though; I'll have everything I want to bring cleaned and packed and in the last week I will edit the continents of the suitcase down to about fifteen outfits. I don't want to be without options though, so I may skip the editing part altogether and bring most of my favorites with me.

I went out to dinner with my mom at Village Inn. It was a nice meal with Mom, especially after her being sick (with what I'm sure is pneumonia that she won't treat) for a while. During the meal, I recieved a text from my father that informed me that he purchased the tickets and is "excited" to see me. The timing of the trip, in one word, sucks. Kelly leaves and then I go visit someone who has gone out of their way that they couldn't care any less. God, July is shaping up to be 31 days of hell.
