T -24 Days and Counting

I've called some relatives I've had only intermittent contact with over the years. My father's side of the family, for the most part, are people I really want nothing to do with. There are a few exceptions, and today I called some of them. It really drove home to me how remiss I've been by not keeping in better touch. But, they were extremely happy for me and thrilled with the positive developments in my life. They won't be able to make it to the wedding, unfortunately.

I also took my car to the garage today. A brake line blew. The repair will likely be in the $100 range. I didn't need the expense, but it's manageable. Better for the brake line to blow out now than somewhere in the mountains, that's for sure! All I need is for the darned thing to get me to Georgia. After that, it can fall apart if it wants. Just last long enough to get me to my Southern Belle!

Finally the packing and tossing. A little packing today and a lot of tossing. Another bag of trash out and another box full of junk gone. I'm staring at a mound of papers that I have to sort through, and trying to avoid thinking about it...
