I just realized that it is T-7 days from our Lake Worth departure. La Le Lu will be heading down to Lake Worth without me this weekend to get to a better jump off point for our crossing. La Le Lu is packed to her gills. The long lists are largely crossed off - and the remaining items are screaming at me from the pages they are scrawled upon - capable of rousing me from sound sleep. It's not likely that I will have time to paint another mermaid before I go, so this one here I will declare as my crossing angel and protector. My mind is awash in emotions ranging from excited to anxious, and from confident to doubtful, but most of all, I am determined.
