and I'm packed

 Got the ongoing "small" projects (2 socks, mitts, scarf) packed up, stuck in a couple more skeins of sockyarn just in case.

Finished the blanket square; could do the second one when I get back (if a second one is needed).

I have Squishy Dog and my crocheted Fluttershy and my little Grumpy Bear as companions, and several books - at the last minute tucked in that "Nomads" book in the hope of finishing it. 

I also have a book due to arrive at my mom's - she encouraged me (said she'd pay for) a book that covers the latest treatment of the Asteraceae (which is a huge and complex family and one I don't know as well as I should). Ordered from Amazon, but - I needed the quick delivery. It's supposed to be there tomorrow so I can at least glance at it and figure out how to present the different tribes of the family. 

Not sure what else I'll do up there but I do need some time away. (My train is running an hour late but at least it's still running - the people going from New Orleans to NYC have got a problem because the most recent freight derailment is blocking the line and apparently the train now originates in Atlanta - so you'd have to find a way to get there from any of the earlier stops.

(Traveling is always an adventure and not in the good way. Here's hoping I have few adventures on the road....)


I'll be back the end of this coming week.
