soon and very soon

another john denver song has recently paralleled my life: all my bags are packed, i'm ready to go! the 30 year old backpack has been washed and waterproofed. another patch was found and added to its already impressive collection. pre-switzerland patch:

i finished up some last minute duties like purchasing tickets to edinburgh and a flight to belfast and revamping my blog page with a few songs. i also made a cute cover strap for my camera. you can now add "seamstress" to the list of my many talents and abilities! :)

in conclusion, i leave in 6 days! and i have completed almost everything on the numerous to-do lists that are scattered around my house. im feelin pretty good!
