Here's to goodbye, tomorrow's gonna come too soon

Things to do before I leave:
  • Go to the bank and deposit checks.
  • Pack a change of clothes.
  • Grab meds.
  • Plot route.
  • Find out if there's a Walgreen's where I'm going.
  • Track down Monstee.
  • Locate the pile of CDs that Dear Hubby burned for me.
Things to buy before I leave:
  • Vitamins B6, C and niacin.
  • Travel shampoo and conditioner.
  • Emetrol, Dramamine, Bonine, No-Doz.
  • New lipstick!
  • Bottled water, Arizona tea, Jell-o.
  • Everclear.
  • AA batteries.
  • Bags to puke in.
Things to bring:
  • Digital camera.
  • Necklace.
  • Cell phone.
  • Palm charger.
  • Meds, meds, meds.
  • Teddy bear.
  • Carmex.
  • Hat, scrunchy, hair clip.
  • Pillow, blanket.
  • Stuff to edit, red pens.
  • Blank notebook.
Things to tell myself during my pep talk:
  • Calm down.
  • Psych up.
  • Take your meds when you need them instead of putting it off for as long as possible.
  • Don't have a chip on your shoulder.
  • Don't point out the chips on other people's shoulders.
  • Trust Matt when he said he'll come back.
  • Learn to give up your Type A tendencies for a while.
  • Keep your eyes on the road.
  • Call your hubby, but not so often that you seem needy.
  • Quit complaining about the hallucinations and the suicidal thoughts; no one cares about your personal problems.
  • Be nice to Matt.
  • Be nice to Matt's friend.
  • Don't be so jealous, overprotective and possessive; let him go and be and do and fuck around because he's not yours.
  • Sing loudly, but not when your passengers are trying to sleep.
  • Meditate every night while you're gone to center yourself.
  • Wear your seat belt and don't speed too much.
  • Don't yell when you're angry.
  • Don't cry when you're frustrated.
  • Be strong.
  • Don't panic; bring a towel.
  • If you're not having fun, you can always go spend the night with Johnny. Or Zy and Steph. Or Dan and Bebe. Or Mef. Or, heck, you could come home.
  • Your car will be fine, but have Saturn's number just in case.
  • Don't force Matt to play the Alphabet Game, even though it's your favorite thing to do on the road.
  • Don't be so sensitive.
  • Smile more.
  • Listen.
  • Be. Enjoy.
