An update on me

[lithera]

Well, I'm still in a glowing happy place after the movie last night. Sean gave me my Christmas present and I was tempted to open it, but I held off. I don't know if I'll take it to Michigan with me. I think that will depend on the sort of room I have in my bags when I'm done packing this evening. I have to fit books and stuff for my mother into the suitcase.

I was suddenly nervous after leaving people last night. It'll be a week and a half until I see my friends again and I feel vulnerable. I am looking forward to seeing my sister though. We're going to go shopping for each other's Christmas presents when I'm there.

My family has a tradition of opening presents on Christmas Eve. This typically left us with Christmas Day free and we started a tradition of going to the movies on Christmas Day. Can anyone guess what our family Christmas movie is this year? Yeah. My mom and dad told my sister to tell me not to go see it, but ... Yeah. I'll be more than willing to go see it again, though.

So. I'm feeling a little vulnerable. A little scared. I'm feeling caught off guard and I don't know why. It isn't like I didn't know this was coming. There is this feeling of unease sliding against the back of my brain and its more than just my typical "going on a trip" sense that goes away once I actually start the trip.

"So trust my navigation..."

Honestly, it doesn't matter to me whether you open it now or in Michigan or when you get home; it's your choice.

*hugs*

Your trip will go fine. And we'll be here to welcome you back afterward.

Thanks. That helps some. We'll see if it fits into my bags. If not, I'll see if I want to open it then.

we'll be right here, waiting for you when you get back.

Well, I'll be moving. and then collapsed amongst my boxes. But it's the thought that counts, right? :)

When you're trapped in the wilds of the Upper Peninsula, surrounded by family you just can't take anymore, take a deep breath and say....

"Send someone to fetch us we're in Sasketchewan."

Then do the drum beats.

That'll probably come somewhere in on the trip down (http://www.mapquest.com/directions/main.adp?go=1&do=nw&ct=NA&1y=US&1a=&1p=&1c=Baraga&1s=MI&1z=&1ah=&2y=US&2a=&2p=&2c=Grayling&2s=MI&2z=&2ah=&lr=2&x=46&y=3) to my aunt and uncle's cabin.

*hugs* It's only a week and a half and then you'll be home. You'll be fine. I mean look at all the nice people you have waiting for you. :)

Just think of my smiling face and everything will be better.

;-)

You'll be fine, and I'll be here to help with the therapy afterwards.

Thanks. I need that. I'm just... Not feeling so good about all of this.

Just don't think about the pink ice-skating polar bears wearing their little tu-tus on the flight.

SO long as you don't do that, you'll be just fine.
