I am craving Skittles. Not that it has anything to do with the camper, but I am finally feeling quite a bit better from the stomach flu. Now, just to keep it that way!

I actually missed my "7Days" post because I was at Amber's place most all of yesterday helping to take care of her as she battles the stomach flu now. Yeah, I kinda think I gave it to her. *oops*

Okay, so today became the point in preparing for the trip where I really started to psych myself out. I mean, I think I started building the adventure up to be more than it probably will be. The weather lately has been wet or snowy and the expectation for the trip has become much more "white" than it ever has been before. So that means a greater chance of running on chains for a long time, a greater chance of high-centering and needing to get towed out, and so on and so forth. So in my mind I starting thinking, "Crap, now I need to get chain link repair kits and tow ropes and this and that and augh!"

Well, really, I called and talked to Brian (the instigator of this wacky racers adveture) and he really put it in a bit of perspective for me. And so my head's in a better space. Still quite a bit left to do in between working and starting school on Monday, but I'll get it done. And I will make this trip and it will be so awesome! Whatever happens, it'll be so awesome!!

Oh, I almost forgot...last night I also picked up my new roofrack! Traded a cooler and a skateboard and a little cash for it. It's awesome and as soon as I have some daylight and free time, I'll snap some pix!
