Fizzing

Wednesday I arrived home from a very excellent camping/hiking trip with two of my friends (Katie and Keith, incidentally an adorable couple). I only slid ignobly down the mountain once, flared the camping stove only once, and only one bear tried to eat us. All in all, a successful adventure. I'm getting very, very excited: five days until departure time! I could hardly sleep last night. If this continues I'm going to do a very poor job indeed of packing. It's a challenge to choose which books to take, because I must consider not only which ones I need to bring, but which ones the Fambly can do without. Also, I am not sure about storage space and may wind up sending all manner of junk home with them (and they don't need it, because Casa McClay has more than enough junk as it is -- charming and occasionally useful junk, but junk nonetheless). The laptop Dad and I ordered has still not arrived, imperiling the continuation of this blog. They did say 8-10 business days, but I think it's been nearly that by now. Oh, dear...
