[life] The road goes ever on and on

Tomorrow my dad is picking me up for our trip. We're spending the night at my parent's house and then heading out on the highway early Friday morning. I am stoked.

I spent most of the day sorting and deciding what clothing and books and toiletries and other junk I can't live without for the next three weeks, and being a bit aghast at the amount of stuff I consider necessary. In my defense, we are camping, hiking, seeing a posh show, and going to a conference during our time away, so my clothing needs are varied.

I'm hooking up with some 1/6 folks down in NorCal round about the 2nd, so I'm also bringing a few figures and such. I'll be doing some writing/editing of the novel, so I'm also bringing some reference books and a pillow to rest the laptop on so I can write in the vehicle. I'm anal retentive, so I'm also bringing the kitchen sink, just in case we need it.

How Shawn's going to wash the dishes while I'm gone, I have no idea.
