Now for the hard part

We're in the part of packing-phase that I love and hate. Assembling small items into large containers. I love the challenge in getting it all to pack down to the smallest container in a way that doesn't allow any danger to the contents. And I love the mental challenge in deciding which items will serve best at the event and which ones really could just stay home.

But the less-than-24-hours-before-we-leave deadline - that I hate. It makes me tense up and start to feel panicked and then my brain shuts off. Forcing myself to back off and take it easy (I really am faster that way) is an exercise in discipline.
