Still going.

So much to do, running down on time.  Two more loads of laundry, one in the dryer, the other will go in after my socks are done.  That is all laundry except whites.  I rarely where whites, though I may still finish those off tomorrow just because.  It looks like just about all of my whites need washing, so...  That will be all of the washing I have, save a rug and the clear shower curtain.  I also set up the main pillbox I will be taking, the secondary one was set up the last time I did medicine.  The dishes are set to a soak.  I also emptied three water containers.  I might yet wash and rinse them.  I won't fill them until tomorrow, as I used the outside faucet for that and I don't want to do it at night.  The inside cold water runs through a water softener.  Salty.  Several other little things have been taken care of as well.  It seems like a lot of work.  And, I suppose, it is.  But compared to getting out, it is much easier.  If nothing else, getting out as often as I have has made domestic work seem much easier.

I still have quite a few things to do.  Most of those things can't happen until I am ready to pack, and some things not until I am ready to go.  So it isn't as bad as it seems.  Basically, loading the vehicle, packing clothes and kit, loading the ice chests, and an appointment tomorrow afternoon.  Oh, right, and getting trash and recycling out tonight.  I am, probably, ahead of where I thought I would be at this point.  So many little details.  Money, medicine, food, water, gear, domestics, and so many other things.  But it really is feeling almost normal this time.  I figure, if I hike a bit, then camp while hiking or fishing, this might even become second nature.  And if I can bust myself into shape, perhaps these things won't be quite as much as a push as they now seem?  Nah, longer trips will always require a good bit of work, attention to detail, planning, and will feel rushed as the time approaches.  Yeah, it's just how it has to be.

Ugh... Just waiting for the laundry to finish so as to cycle it through.  I won't leave anything in the washer, even overnight.  Too risky, especially if I could (and I could) forget and then be gone for a while.  Well fed, well worked, ready for sleep.  All very good.  Good night.
