cleverly disguised as a responsible adult

• Bag for hated trip to CA - Packed
  
• Practice corset - Half the boning channels sewn, ran out of boning. I think it's going to be too big, but I might be able to make it work regardless. Definitely need more boning and some bias tape to bind the edges.
  
• Sisters of Battle squad - First and second coats of red on the armor and a blister on my thumb. Put away until next weekend.
  
• Copious amounts of tea - Drunk
  
• Downwood's parents - Introduced to Rain and all the locations for the wedding.
  
• Laundry - Clean clothes for the both of us
  
• Other cleaning - Ignored
  
• Worry and stress levels - Skyrocketed

Yep, I'm still in Mega-Panic mode about this trip. I really don't deal well with change, even in the short-term like this. Yeah, when Downwood was in Chicago, we would go every week not seeing each other from Monday to Friday. But I've gotten extremely spoiled the last few months. I like knowing that he's going to be next to me when I wake up.

Everything's going to be fine. I hope. I'm taking workout clothes, game prep stuff, some books, a computer, and the blackwork for The Project That Won't Die (aka Downwood's new faire shirt). I'll have phone software on the computer and Gmail chat. And all my email accesses. Of course, I'm working 6:30 AM to 7 PM shifts, so it'll be late nights that I update and try to find someone to talk to.

*deep breath* I think dinner's done. I'm going to go soak up some more time with my sweetie. It'll be okay. Really. I think I believe me.
