7 Days (give or take)

It's 1 week till I ship out. I've gathered most of the things I will need. My affairs are in order. The deadline is looming, and it casts a long shadow over the few remaining days I have. Sleep hasn't come easily in a week or  two, and I do not expect it to do so now. I'll admit it; I'm a little nervous. More than a little excited. But this is going to be an interesting week, no matter what.
