Up early today, cleaned the cabin in Big Bear, finished laundry, remade beds, packed the car, and drove home (via Newhall), all the while stoked & excited about the upcoming trip (to Carmel tonight, then Mendocino for 2 nights where I'll get to spend time w/a Dear Friend, then Carmel, then Lompoc to visit w/another Dear Friend I haven't seen in far too long). Then I got home. Now I'm tired, exhausted even, and the longer I wait to finish unpacking and repacking the car, the worse the rush hour traffic (outta town and in Sta Barbie) will be. Ugh & oof. Methinks I'm gonna nap for a bit, as originally planned, then do what I need to do and get outta Dodge.
