T-12

If all goes well, we will be taking off in 12 hours.

Our household is in a weird hybrid of our usual departure chaos.  Since it is a Saturday and our flight isn't until 8:40 pm it feels like we are swimming in time, there is a lot to do today.

Megan has a soccer game.  Which means that we will have to wrestle her into her uniform and drag her on the field.  She has a good time once she is there, but like her father she loathes having to leave the house.

We also have a special birthday related errand to squeeze in with Jiaying this afternoon.

And we have to pack.  My least favorite part of trip-taking.  And airplane packing is my least favorite sub-type of packing.  If you are driving, you can litter things about the vehicle just-in-case (and leave whenever you like), but when you are flying you must be ruthless efficient.  And that kind of mindset sends me into a tailspin.  Bryan has learned to be very careful with me on packing days.
