AM I READY I'm ready I'M NOT READy I'm fine IT'S FINE
finished all the work I can on this commission so I don't have to work today but
all the cleaning and double-checking is stuff I really shouldn't do too early or I'm going to spend all of Sunday anxiously wiping down counters
I checked the long-range forecasts and I will take 60-65 thank you
okay so clearly I just need A Task to do or else I freak out
I decided to run to the liquor store for "I can't handle the freakout get me drunk" and that helped so I went down to the workroom to sew something I had cut for Rose
sewing = no thinking about travel
my brain apparently doesn't like being 2000% prepared for the thing
I mostly have horror emotes though
I'm mad that it was break week for One Piece because that would have been a welcome distraction
lmao the first wo are so apt

here's you on your way to japan
like, it won't be real until the plane is off the ground
and then it's half an hour of AAAAAAAAAAAAA followed by 13 hours of kill me now, and then another half hour of AAAAAAAAAAAAAA LOOOK OUT THE WINDOW AAAA
if the only glimpse I get of Fuji-san is out the airplane window, that's enough
look at that grand motherfucker ok time to enjoy the ground

here's you looking out the window as the ground becomes real
Rose has already decided that since she's been before, and seen the approach into Tokyo. she will give up the window to me in exchange for getting the window when we leave
and I'm all, yep that's fair
I need to remind myself for the next 2-3 days that we're here to absorb and that includes visuals
however, until then, we have rum and ice cream to calm the nerves
we have TO DOs like. vacuum, clean toilets, laundry
but that's for the weekend, not the next 6-9 hours
yeah and also that will only occupy a few hours and not keep you busy for much longer
a good distraction but not a useful one at the moment
yeah, I'm currently in the "rum is calming" phase because I can't do anything else right now
OH NO LOCAL WEATHER HURTS
"this is how things are going to be for X period" oh no I don't have to care what how
maybe some rain around the time our flight leaves? how is that so easy what how
It's almost time! Good luck getting things done!
almost!!!! which is probably the greatest stress
Especially when it's this close
yep. when there's a handful of things to do but you can't do them until 24-36 hours out
