Tah-Done! (Packing edition)

The original theory was to do the packing (for both Maine and 12th night) last night. But since my plane doesn't leave until this evening I decided to leave it to morning and finished up the sewing project instead, which was probably a better choice. So xrian, if you're going to be at 12th night, you can take delivery of the undergown that was supposed to go with your Laureling outfit a couple years ago. And now the packing is all completed as well and I have all day to tidy the house and worry about possible blizzards in New York. So far the Delta flight-status website still lists my flight as on-schedule, but the radio keeps saying things about the weather that will keep me on edge until tomorrow morning's leg to Portland actually touches down.

So the remainder of today's to-dos are: wrap a couple of 12th night presents; hang the birdseed bells on the redwood tree out front; drop off some obsolete electronics at the drop-off event over at IKEA; do as much tidying up of the house as I feel like doing; start some random project that will not be completed before I leave and for which there is no urgency whatsoever but that will suddenly seem very important to do.

Sound of fingers drumming

All ready to go to the airport and waaay too early to actually head out. This is the point where I start getting twitchy. If it were an option, I'd say what-the-heck and see if my driver wanted to take me over early, but she's off to dinner with a friend. The Delta web site now had the flight leaving 20 minutes later than originally scheduled, but in some ways this is a good thing: it means they've actually updated it for current information, and that current information doesn't involve drastic changes. I'm still working on the assumption that some sort of delay is more likely than not, but I'm hoping it won't be on the same scale as last year. Still, what happens happens.

I did manage to acquire a last-minute new project that got started but was never going to get finished. (No details because it involves a present for someone that will not end up being a 12th night present and I'd rather not make even the commitment of describing it until I get around to finishing it.)
