(no subject)

I want to note several things before I go back to being a zombie.

1. Friday, and yet, it feels like Wednesday by the size of the 'to do' list I've got left.
2. 6.30AM =5.15 hours :(((((((((
3. Temperatures today = high of 31. I need to pull out the golf shirts and khakis. And then go melt into a puddle. :(
4. Saturday = haircut, laundry, more backbreaking labour, finish laundry.
5. Sunday = prep packing - small piles to fit. Clothes, recording devices, camera, laptop, spare discs and batteries.
