I'm prepared and I've planned for the final day.
Its best to run through the details in your mind over and over again so you become comfortable with the process. It also allows me to fill in any missing gaps and make any necessary adjustments. As I've said before, its a disciplined undertaking.
The precursor is not important; the ensuing journey to the destination remains the same. As much as possible, I need to control the flow of events, making sure they are as linear as can be. Deviation and uncertainty leads to failure, which I don't intend to. The iterations below will act as a map for me, a literal guide to keep my wits intact. When the time comes, no more thinking, I will just act.
The night before
PC needs to be wiped of my use - I may have to complete some bank transfers - I need to pack all my clothes - I need to make sure my laptop is packed - Items to give away I need to label, discard the rest - I need to get some sticky notes and a sharpie - I need to shave and groom well.
I have to call and say goodbye - make sure she knows and understands - make sure she remembers our secret - make sure she can get access - make plain my plight.
The final day
I'll clean up and finish packing - buy a sandwich for the ride - bring a can or two of tuna - leave.
Arrival
Eat - look through my luggage - shower and dress as planned - retrieve my instrument - label items as I see fit - move and arrange items on bed, labeled clearly - leave notes as necessary - watch final movie.
Finale
Wash up - final look through - pray to nothing - planned music in ears - xiphoid process step aside, shiny has a meeting with thumper - bliss - eternity.
