I am currently sitting at the SLC airport waiting for my flight to San Francisco.  So far there has been no sign of my crippling claustrophobic fear–usually associated with flying.  But I’m not on the airplane yet. 

 

It also helps that I am exhausted–from trying to close my suitcase.  That took real effort.  I was thoroughly out of breath by the time I was done.  Despite my mantra of  “Pack light.  Pack light.” I barely managed to zip close my not-so-slight suitcase.  

 

I am also quite tired because I stayed up late reading–until 3 AM.  With my conference looming and only 218 pages (yes I’ve made progress) read of my 800+ paged epic tome assigned for this conference, it seemed appropriate to stay up reading.  And I finished my book!

 

Of course it wasn’t the assigned book.  It was Voyage of the Dawn Treader by C.S. Lewis.  It’s the story after Prince Caspian in the Narnia series.    I’m not too panicked, however.  The conference doesn’t really start until Sunday.  I’ll be staying with my sister Kim for a few days first.  I’m sure I’ll have plenty of time to read.   Except that 6 of her 8 children are still living at home and probably will want a little of my attention. 

 

Oh well.  I work/read best under pressure.  I think.   I better get back to reading.
