A Good Question

COUNTDOWN 8 DAYS

I was talking to friend on the phone today and she asked me:

"If you are behind in packing, why are you taking the time to blog daily?"

In the moment, I didn't have an answer. Now that I've had some time to ponder the question, I think it's because I want to capture the energy, the thoughts, and, yes, the sometimes mayhem, of this big move.

When I moved out here six years ago, I didn't document anything. Interestingly, I didn't even take photos going across the country and since I didn't write anything down, I don't even recall why.

So this time, there's this online journal. And, I'm excited to post photos as we travel west. I even bought a car charger for my camera battery to be sure I am prepared!

If I were being asked the question, I would just admit adult-onset attention deficit disorder keeps me from concentrating full-time on anything as fun as packing.
