[Morning freewrite] This is my last entry for quite a while. I am not going to be able to access a computer, I think, so I doubt that I will be able to get anythign written of value here (Other than by mental telepathy. Must work on that aspect of my life.) It is funny. Last night I was busy sewing sewing sewing. I finished the tarp, but nothing else. I don't know whether I want to keep on going or stop now. On sewing. I think I want to work on more sdewing, but I don't think I can. I have to layout and cut and sew. Probably there won't be a sewing machine where I'm going either. This is a strange hting. This is a crazy thing. This is a thing that I don't know. I thought last night about cutting the new patterns and then hand sewing htem together later. But I didn't. Cutting the cloth is hte most time consuming task for me. it makes options go away. Maybe I could cut out a simpler pattern -- just a bag rather than a fitted liner. That might work. What would I sew it up with? A needle and cotton thread should do. Yes. Just cut a rectangle... And then, as long as it is long enough, I could even get around to reusing the fabric at some later time. I hsould think about doing that. ~5 times 12 + 8 = 68 inches by 28+28 = 56 inches. I should be able to do something like that. Two rectangles. Seems so wrong to take the easy way out. Yet, know that I cannot do anyhting bu take the easy way at this point in time. I have to do that. There isn't enough time. (I'll have to by hand sewing needles at some point though -- I left mine in the room Brian's in. So I cannot get to them. Sigh. More's a pity.) So this freewrite, my last of a long time. What says it about me? That I am anxious and second-guessing myself and that I don't know whether I'm doing the right thing or not. This freewrite finds me doubting that I want to hike, feeling like an anxious schoolboy twiddling around in circles. But oh well. I am going to go forth and hike. And by pure stubbornnedd I am going to continue hiking until I reach some fitting destination. I don't know where, but it will be someplace! Need to remember to snag a bunch of addresses. So many things to do, not enough time to do them in. I am feeling nervous. Will I be able to sleep on the way down? I do not know. I do not know. There is one minute left before the chiming of the bell. The swooping of hte axe. The end. There is one minute, I feel it racing through the air, my blood. I can feel the imminent approaching. I can feel this dance of fingers over keyboard ending. What happens now? [End morning freewrite]
