Packing and Playing

I find that when I pack, I often get distracted by, oh, I don't know, a certain pair of shoes or skirt that I haven't seen in a while. I can only imagine how long this packing will take me. We've been laying low recently. Erik has been going into work some days and working from home others. Even though we aren't leaving for a couple more weeks, I had my last day today at the graphics job, and tomorrow will go into the archive to say goodbye. It's been very strange here, I wake up and run straight to the television and switch on the news. It's so surreal that the war is so close to us here, yet, feels so far away. Although, last night we were reading books in bed and a siren began to go off. I'm sure it was a test, but we both jumped up and looked at each other, as if: What do we do?. After that, I laid our shoes, sweatshirts, and passports by the door in case it happened again. One should always be prepared.
