Seriously freakin' the bean

Whatever that actually means...

I am avoiding cleaning out the rabbit and mouse cages, feeding the pets and doing my lat bit of packing. I need to get on it pronto, since I need to be on the road at 7:15. To places far away and really, really SCARY!!!!

So my darling friend Laura is currently (or approximately currently) on a train from point A to point B...in Mongolia! And I am freaking out because of a little workshop here. Though maybe I'd freak out less if I were in a foreign country, with a completely different culture and no one I knew, because I'd expect to mess up every once in a while, and it would be a foreign experience and I wouldn't run into people at home...but maybe not. I am so shy and cautious...

And I'm gonna miss Xander!!! Rob too, but we're used to being apart every once in a while. I haven't spent this much time away from my little guy yet, and though I know its good for me, I'm still really upset about it. I don't have to LIKE it.

Anyways, I'm still nervous (can you tell?!!?). Seriously so, but I'm sure it will be fine. I'm driving someone up - it'll give me a chance to not go into it completely alone - hopefully we're nicely compatible so the looong drive up isn't uncomfortable.

That's it for that. For the other pertinent news:

Before I Wake is officially ON SALE!!!!!!!
Which is exciting beyond belief. Rob had a very stressful and stupid afternoon - not at all his fault, a non-book event that was imposed upon him. It messed up his entire afternoon and evening, and worse, his enjoyment of what was supposed to be a stellar day. And Chapters didn't have his book put yet (yes, we checked!) which was also disappointing. But otherwise, great news and tons of positive feedback from all over again, and more to come, I am sure.
Now off to cleaning up and feeding pets...packing...stressing and not sleeping....
Wish me luck!
