I Got Shpilkes

Shpilkes is best described as "having ants in the pants." Can't sit still.

I am so good at getting everything ready for a trip ahead of time that I had absolutely nothing to do today, but I didn't really have the patience to sit and read. I did nap for a little bit, I think, but otherwise, I have no idea what I've been doing all day. Unfortunately, my sister prepares for a trip by growing more and more anxious, and she's still packing now. (It's nearly 7:30 pm.) Ah well.

What else can I tell you? I know there was something else. I didn't sleep last night; I was up making new ringtones at 2:30 because I thought of a song I wanted as a ringtone and didn't have, and then I realized what the hell, I was awake anyway, so I got up and did it.

Let's just say I do not really travel easily. (Although that's not really connected to the sleep thing, that's just me.) I think the reason I go so overboard in preparing is that it's my way of dealing with the discomfort of being away from home and all that. I'm certainly happy about where I'm going, and I could certainly use some time away. But I am a very home-oriented person; I like being in my own space with all my stuff around me. Traveling is an anxious kind of activity for me. Also, I think that the Sibs and I are going to be less compatible roommates than we used to be years ago when we traveled more together, but that could just be the anxiety talking.

Anyway.

I am going to DISNEY WORLD tomorrow morning and we are going to have a WONDERFUL time and I will post pictures when I can and entries as well.
