Summer "Break"

Technically, I have the summer off, but it's already feeling like an incredibly short summer. I've been spending this week packing up my apartment - and I'm convinced that no single person needs as much stuff or as much boxed food as I've accumulated over the past 2 1/2 years. What did I ever think I was going to do with a half a dozen cans of pineapple or an entire cupboard of Hamburger Helper? And speaking of excess, why did I ever start a snobby yarn stash? You can't just sell off a bunch of 100% wool yarn for a dollar a ball at a garage sale...which might be why I have three rubbermaid totes full of the stuff. *sigh*

I've also revisited the joy of booking airline tickets. I was raised to hunt out bargains, which makes ticket buying an insanely long process: checking travel sites, checking the airlines' sites, weighing the option of leaving at 6 am for $100 less than leaving at 10 AM, etc. It's all good though - I've got both my ticket for PFO (summer training in Mississippi) and SINGAPORE! Feels fabulous - I am incredibly, incredibly blessed.
