I leave for 122 days on the road in four days.
Except I’m going to SF, and while there I will be working like a madman on a big job for a client. And also trying to get the final revisions done for my thesis. And meeting about my Sightlines Journal article.
So it hardly feels like I’m starting a trip.
It’s really just ten days like every other ten days I’ve spent in SF since I moved down to LA in January.
So maybe my trip doesn’t begin until the 17th, and I’ll be on the road until mid-April.
I’m not sure.

Preparations are coming along.
I’ve got all locales locked down for couches.
The always amazing Petrushka is putting me up on her floor in NYC.

I’ve got my little portable 500GB drive, Axonite, almost totally filled up with music.
I got Live installed on my laptop.
I have a few more pieces of s’ware to load, but that’ll happen Saturday or next week in SF.

I unpacked my suitcase. I found three more hoodies I need to squeeze in. And some other stuff. So some stuff has to come out, I guess. Don’t know what.

I’ve been going full throttle working for a client. Got lucky that she had a big job. For awhile there, I thought I’d have to find odd jobs on the road to make a thousand dollars I was short.

OTOH, I have been working super long days every day, so no time to revise my thesis. LOL, of course. Which brings us back to the stress mentioned at the start of the post.
