Last night, Ed and I decided we would go on an Adventure.

So, tomorrow morning we are going to Victoria to have a late Christmas with my mom, then on Sunday we’ll be taking some sort of ferry from the island to Washington State for some fun, American style. Boats! Long bouts of driving! International borders! The blowjob ferry! Oh, it’ll be fun. No, really!

I’m trying to psyche myself up for it, because while I am looking forward to Adventure and seeing Ali and Doug’s new house and small child and also getting in my traditional post-Christmas visit to Sephora, I am SO VERY TIRED. Last night I think I managed to fall asleep around 5am, and was up again before 8. Between Ed’s snoring and my inability to turn my damn brain off, it was a very sleepless night for me. I have a million things to do in addition to the usual trip preparation – I need to run errands at no less than 6 places today, after I take Shan’s cat to the vet for suture removal (I am an awesome friend). So what am I doing? Sitting in front of my computer, randomly clicking on links and staring vacantly at the screen. I’m pretty sure I’m drooling, too. All I want to do is crawl back into bed, but I know that I’d never be able to fall asleep because my brain is freaking out that we’re going away in less than 24 hours and there are DIRTY DISHES in the SINK. Clearly, this is the end of the world as we know it and I in no way feel fine.

But, still. ADVENTURE!!
