Today was a very sad day. I awoke very early because of the outrageous amount of things I still had to do before my planned 2:00 departure. Packing the car was a slow process...mostly because there was physically not enough room for all my belongings. But alas, by some miracle, I fit it all. Every nook and cranny has been filled with whatever will fit. The only area not filled with stuff is where I'm sitting to drive. I guess anyone who knows me should not be at all surprised by this! When I finally finished I took a look at my car and it was not only absolutely ridiculous looking (and questionably legal?), but also kind of interesting. All you had to do was take one look in my windows to see the things that are totally ME - a yoga mat, a guitar, a djembe drum, a lulu bag, my Mexican backpack & baja, my laptop box, and a ton of other little things.
Anyway, after kissing the Graveley house goodbye (but actually...I kissed the door), I hopped in the RAV, put on a playlist made for me by my dear friends Kate & Alex, and drove away. ...aaaannndd ten seconds later was in full blown tears. And once again if you know me, this is not a common thing. I suppose all the built up emotion had to come out eventually and the state of blissful denial I was in had to end at some point.
The drive to Kamloops was fairly short, beautiful, sad, and full of good music, deliciously unhealthy but necessary snacks, and more tears. Thank GOODNESS I was alone. I arrived late evening at Randi's home (which was Randi-less only physically) and had a wonderful night hanging out with her mom, Fain. :)
WOAH a lot of writing for today, but a lot happened. This picture does not even begin to sum up everything, but it definitely shows you how packed my vehicle is. And how I'm sad. And how it's actually a beautiful day out for once.
