…. I’m never going to be prepared enough. And my anxiety is doing its thing now… I did manage to find a button down (up?) shirt. Going to make another one. I also made two drain holders (bags) Now I’m just trying to figure out what are the best things…
Actually… it’s gonna get fake. I’m ok with that. We are down to the 3 1/2 weeks left mark. The closer we get to that day? The more anxiety I’ve got. But, equally… just as excited. I’ve tried to mentally prepare myself with watching as many personal documentaries and reading…

De, sitting around doing mostly nothing.. and NOT losing her mind. 😀 Hey, listen. I knew it was gonna be something like this (And I KNOW I am being overly dramatic… I’ve been through WAY worse in life). All I’ve been doing for the past week and spare change is…
