The Calm Before the Storm

As I sit here in my nice and quiet apartment, listening to Bon Iver and drinking teavana tea, I am reminded of the phrase “The Calm Before the Storm”.  Now I am not referencing storm in such a “negative” way that some people would, the phrase is more in reference to the crazy busy week ahead of me including a LONG travel day to northern Canada.  Monday & Tuesday will be spent running around at work getting last minute preparations completed for my trip.  Wednesday I will also be getting some stuff done around the apartment and then Thursday about 10 -12 hours of traveling and then I will be in Canada for 16 days.
