I'm fairly sure that you are probably familiar with that calm before the storm feeling, but have you ever experienced (or rather noticed) the feeling of vertigo as you stand on the edge of the steep dive into the eye of the storm?
It is the sense that there is too much to get done and no time to get it done before a pending trip. The knowledge that you need to make sure that you have everything you need, and the chaotic mess of your mental state as you try to think of what all that stuff is.
I think it is compounded by a fear of flying, which I definitely have. I think it would help if there were not such a rush on the trip, but there is about a week and a half to when we are set to go watch nephew graduate and spend some time with my sister. After having thought we were not going anywhere until the fall, I am now in a state of 'what do I need to do?' frazzle that is picked up by my mom's little dog and leaves him fretting every time me and dad step out the door. I hate to think how he is going to be when we step out the door and don't come back in through it for a week.
