(read at lightning speed)have i taken care of what i need to?, have i told my roommate about all the bills?, have i told everyone goodbye?, do i have enough clothes packed?, is my sub-letter a psycho-killer?, does my land-lord really approve?, i get to see Marsha in Portland, Oregon!, am i bringing enough reading material?, how can i go without my Seinfeld DVDs?, how will i be able to have time to myself?, how will i not go crazy?, is this really what i want to do for the next four months?, will my plants die while i am away?, will i be able to save enough $doe?, what happens if i get the flu?, what happens if we get in a wreck?, i hope i don't lose Heather's computer!, will New York be the same when i get back?, what happens if my apartment self combusts?, who will walk the dog... (wait, i don't have one!), who will file my taxes on April 18th? or 15th or whatever the frick!, what kind of roach traps will we be staying in?, i wonder what Idaho is like?! i am going to forget my underwear and my toothbrush, (oh wait, then we can just pull over and get some!), i need to work more on my lines!, I get to spend a weekend with my old pal Jillian from Kearney in Savannah, Georgia!, i get to meet these new people! oh shit! the thoughts just keep running over! it's a non sequitur, really. a potpourri, if you will.

The only things you forgot were "what if I leave the oven on? the windows open in rain? that carton of overripe strawberries in the fridge? have I cleaned under the couch cushions for extra change?"
When the dust settles, all you really need is your credit card, a camera, a pen, a toothbrush, and some really foxy sunglasses. With these necessities you can be fearless.
What a wonderful journey you are starting.....one that you have wanted to take for a long while.
you are prepared enough by just asking all these questions.
...it is the launching that is the hardest of any new endeavor.
Good luck
