Lies!
Haha. Yeah, I have a few things going on right now.
I put my notice in to leave my work. It is a really long commute and after a year and 3 months I just can't do it anymore. I want to work closer to home. I need to. The environmental impact of me commuting 96 miles a day is just too great, not to mention the wear and tear on my car. Oh yeah and my time and money. Gas prices aren't going to stay down. So I'm looking for work now. At the worst possible moment to be looking for a job. Heh. I'm prepared though. I didn't just wake up one day and turn in my resignation letter. I knew I wouldn't work here for forever so I've been sitting on some money just in case I don't find work right away.
I've also got a back packing trip planned for the Grand Canyon. Two things have to be taken into consideration for this to happen. 1. Find work that will let me off for a week since I've been planning this trip for a year and 2. Train to go on such a huge hike.
This has me busy. I have work outs to do, stairs to climb, gear to buy, food to plan, all the normal things you do to get ready for week long camping/backpacking vacation except I've never done that before, so its an extra big deal for me. Mainly I'm worried about getting my body in shape. I just want to be able to enjoy the trip without too much pain.
To state the obvious, I'm stressed. I'm trying to just breath and take it one day at a time but the stress is there regardless. I know it'll all work out fine, I'm just ready for things to be in order so I can move on with my mostly frictionless life.
Now if you'll excuse me... I need to do a few things before I head to the gym. ;)

Those long trips are hardest to pack for, I think. Since you're out longer, you tend to want more creature comforts, but then you have to carry that stuff around longer, too! Consider every item you pack very carefully. Don't deny yourself things that you'll really want (if you're willing to schlep them), but be honest about whether or not you'll really use each thing, too. Sounds like a ton of fun!
