Flying stresses me out.

I'm feeling okay but for the obsession with packing. I don't know how many times I've taken things out of the suitcase, put them back in, changed my mind and taken things out again. Ruminating about the baggage is how my stress is coming out this time which actually is better than freaking out in other ways. All in all, we are packed and ready to go. And yes, I am editing/removing the post that I wrote early this morning. So there.

Isle of Palms appears to be hurricane warning free now so that's a relief. The forecast for our week there has a lot of rain in it, but who knows what the weather will actually bring. I am armed with two books and a knitting project so if it does rain a lot, I'll just spend my time on the porch. We really don't have any plans for the week other than Relaxation. I imagine we'll check out Charleston since I've never been there before. In fact, I've never been to South Carolina. Never been further south than North Carolina. Looking forward to being near the ocean, eating some good seafood and spending time with Will's family. (Oh those southerners and their tall tales!)

I've been wanting to use my Pentax K1000 again, but geez, there are only so many cameras a gal can use at a time! I finally did put some film in it though and shot a roll, mostly around the house.

The subject matter isn't anything new, but wow, I still love this camera. And you know, I don't think I've ever shot color film with it before. I think I'll be using the K1000 a lot more in the near future. (Not on this trip though. I am already taking too much crap as it is.)

Well my dears, by this time tomorrow, hopefully I will be lounging around the beach house in South Carolina.

Might post something in the morning, if not, I'll catch you on the flip side. Have an excellent week! Enjoy the last days of summer!!
