Almost Gone

I'm leaving for the airport in less than six hours. I have gotten an hour of sleep each night for the last several days, and it is starting to feel that sickly anxious whole body exhaustion like school again. My plan was to have everything done so I could relax and get some sleep my last night in town, but that was a little naive I guess. Packing and running around has been such a whirlwind that it is hard to imagine that the next time I see these surroundings it will be winter in Seattle. At least I will get some sense of pause this next week, before I leave the country. I'm looking forward to seeing my family, particularly my new niece, Maggie - many adorable photos to come, I assure you.
