Tomorrow I leave to go back east for my Grandma’s memorial service.  Instead of flying into New Hampshire or Boston, MA, I found a much better deal flying into JFK.  This works well for me because Uncle N Period lives in the NYC Metro area and can pick me up.  I’ll stay with him and Aunt Bird and drive up with them, and we’ll all stay at my mom’s for 1 night.  Being with family but not in the thick of it will be more relaxing for me, and goodness knows I need to relax a bit.  I’ve been very busy this week, at work as usual, and I’ve been cleaning up my computer because I am going to try to bring it with me for Uncle Caboose.  He’s using my mom’s old dinosaur that crashes when he wants to play Mah-Johng.  I also had to transfer all my stuff to the laptop (the Vista laptop that I have a love-hate relationship with - I love it because it’s a laptop, and I hate it because it’s Vista.  I’m coming around on the Vista part, though.)  The easy part was all my pictures and other documents, but I was a bit worried about my music collection.  Luckily, I found some really good instructions online, so after I used the Belkin Easy Transfer to move the files, I then followed the directions to move the music to an external hard drive.  I’ve been wanting to do that anyway, because I can fill up lots of storage space with music.  I only have about a quarter of my collection ripped, but now I have the space to do the rest.

Anyway.  Doing all that, I feel like I haven’t had a moment to rest, so I’m looking forward to having 5 straight hours to read while hurdling through the atmostphere in a metal tube.  I have a few hours to people watch.  I don’t have to work, do laundry or make dinner for 4 days, and I don’t have to be anywhere except at the airport and at church.  Despite the heavy emotional toll this weekend will have, I’m looking forward to the lack of obligation.

Since I’ll be travelling, I may not get a chance to check on things online, so comments will sit for awhile, and I may not be in the blogosphere reading up on everyone else.  I’ll catch up on that later, but I will be back early next week.
