Finally...

After three cups of coffee, five minor distractions, one almost-meltdown and part of a roll of duct tape, the packing is finally finished! As in, pick-up-my-bags-I'm-walking-out-the-door finished!... Yikes...

P.S. By the way, I now know that if one usually does not drink coffee, it's not a good idea to drink three cups in a row. Especially if one puts sugar in it. Don't try this at home, kids!
