I leave in the morning, my iPod is dead, and I can't find the charger cable! D'oh!

I ended up changing to the flight out of Springfield, which was probably a good idea, since Joplin ended up getting an inch of ice, with trees down and power out. I'm still watching weather.com like it's a fascinating suspense movie, though.

I have no idea how it has happened, but my whole house is now sitting in a series of suitcases and cardboard boxes. There's a LOT I'm not taking, but I've managed to smooosh everything important into a portable size! Yay! I've got one small box of stuff left to fit into my suitcase, and a last lap around the house to check for things, and then I'm done! Amazing!
