day 116: controlled chaos

when i am too nervous/excited/insane to act like a normal human being and stop moving around, pacing, cracking knuckles, and half-starting sentences, i make lists.

this is my packing list so far. all this stuff is laid out already. i might actually have to force myself to relax a little tonight as an actual task or i'll run out of things to do.
