I'll be on a plane to Detroit, on the first step of my trip. The anxiety of preparing finally got to me today, but I've managed to wrench myself away from it. It helped that a chubby little asian baby grinned at me at the Target checkout line this afternoon.
I have everything I need (I think), I'm almost all packed, and I just need to tie up some loose ends before I'm completely ready to go. I'm not as prepared as I could be (or at least I don't feel like it), but regardless of how I feel, it's soothing to know without a shadow of a doubt that I'm absolutely supposed to go on this trip.
Flight's in five hours, then leaving Sunday morning for the big leagues. Let's do this thing!
