Just one more day. That's all I have to make it through and then we leave for the trip.
Got really in the mood last night when I went shopping. I went a little crazy at the grocery store trying to buy various stuff I thought other might enjoy.
I got it in my head that I was going to make salsa to take on the trip. I even went out and bought a cheaper food processor at Target so that I could make it. I ended up making two kinds, Summer Salsa which is red tomato based and Tomatillo Salsa which is Mexican green tomato based. Haven't tried them yet. I needed to let them marinate for a night. J and I will give them a small test run tonight and he can tell me if it needs anything added.

Two days until the trip. I am not feeling really excited this morning. For one thing, I am extremely tired. For another, I am dreading going to work today. I have so much to do at work and I have to cram it into the next two days. I just want to head for the mountains. Just go and worry about coming back Monday. Can we leave yet?
On another note, tonight I go grocery shopping and come home to make some edible items for the trip. I will also be working on that and packing tomorrow night as well.
Soon. Soon we will be leaving.

Calming . . . calming . . .
A bad day caused me to have a freakout and reconsider going on the wine trip today. I had some crappiness today, and way too much work, and too much classwork, but I've calmed down considerably. I'm feeling better, and am cautiously looking forward to the trip. I've been excited about it for months, but the last week or so has caused me to worry about getting everything done.
But I really need to get out of town. I've been looking forward to this for a long time, and I'm ready to go.

Hi everyone! My name is Delirium. ::pause for response:: And I have a secret. ::pause for shocked silence:: I am a Cabin Wino! And proud of it!
In fact, I am joining my real support group in just a few days for our annual meeting. There will be a cabin ::aaaahh!:: There will be fun gourmet-ish snacky items ::ooohhh:: and by God there will be WINE ::crowd faints::
I cannot wait to see you all soon! Go Winos!
P.S. I will try to upload some of last year's photos tonight.

I found this looking for photos of the area around Meadows of Dan. This is a nearby forest at Mabry Mill.
