big trip

It's 2am & I'm finally done packing for a ten-day trip through five states & over eleven hundred miles. We will have to leave soon after school tomorrow to beat the winter storm that's coming this way. We'll be ahead of it & I like to picture it as a giant white cloud just behind the car in the rear-view mirror. As if we're outrunning it.

But now I must sleep because - tired or not - I must spend seven hours at school tomorrow & the 6am alarm will be ringing soon. Sigh.
