That's it! I'm done! No more casino for nine whole weeks! Woo!!

* * * * *

The push to get everything done before I leave continues. I went to the dentist today to get a tiny problem taken care of. It's the type of tiny problem that normally I wouldn't give a shit about and would put off taking care of until my annual cleaning, but the last thing I want is a tiny problem suddenly becoming a big one while I'm away. I have two boxes packed that I will be shipping off to my brother tomorrow, and the suitcase is on the bed waiting to be filled with the contents of my closet and drawers. I keep looking at my list of things-to-be-done and am faintly amazed that just about everything has been checked off. No way. It can't be this easy. I know there's something vitally crucial I'm forgetting.

I even printed up a bunch of labels with my clarion address and stuck them on Tyvek envelopes so that Tiffany can pack up my mail and send it to me. I think that actually having my mail forwarded for that length of time would be more trouble than it's worth, and since most of it is already being forwarded from my old address I think I would be tempting the fates to forward yet again.

Speaking of mail, here's my address-to-be:

Diana Rowland
Campion Tower
Seattle University
914 E. Jefferson
Seattle, WA 98122

Here's where I get selfish. Yes, I want mail. No, I probably won't answer any of it.[grin] Of course email is just as acceptable (though I probably won't answer much of that either.) It's diana@sff.net for those of you who don't want to go to the main journal page to look for it.

Well, I guess it's not totally selfish. I really am going to try and keep up this journal while I'm there, so I suppose it's only fair that I get lots of encouragement in return. ;-)
