Will my cats be okay?
Will my family be okay?
Why in God's name did I want to hike for 3mos? WTH is wrong with me?
My French is absurdly poor. I can't hike in France for 6 weeks.
Damn, I'm fat.
1500k??? Why did I decide to hike from Le Puy-en-Velay? Am I clinically insane?
Need contacts! Damn it! That means I need an optometrist appointment. Scheduled. Now I have to find time to go there.
I forgot to schedule a haircut! Damn it....okay scheduled. Now I have to find time to go there. Damn it!
The house needs to be cleaned.
OMG - I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow. I don't have time for that!
OMG (x2) - I have concert tickets tomorrow. I don't have time for that! They were a gift. OMG! I have to go.
I need chewable toothpaste. Where did I buy that chewable toothpaste?
Ugh!
I leave Los Angeles for Lyon on July 8. If my first Camino is an accurate measure, I'm going to feel this way from today until 10-days into the pilgrimage.
So here is what you need to do. Think for one minute about all of us sitting here at home on the forum and wishing we were you. Forget about the contacts, forget about cleaning the house, forget about the chewable toothpaste (chewable toothpaste, what in the world is that?), realize that nothing is wrong with you and that you are one of the world’s luckiest blokes right now. We all wish you a wonderful camino and hope that you will report back in from time to time. Buen camino, LaurieWill my cats be okay?

Apart from this: everything (including you) will be fine.Don't worry about your French being extremely poor .... so is their English !!
Lush the natural cosmetic, soap etc store sells toothtabs which are a chewable toothpaste. I brought them on the Camino this spring and broke them in half. I liked knowing exactly how much to bring but toothpaste is available along the Camino.Will my cats be okay?

I am worried about the cats though. I care for a stray who eats thrice a day in my yard. My son is house sitting. He will put food out for her. But the jury is out about whether she’ll accept him in my stead. Oh...and he has two cats...two cats that are coming to stay in my house for three months. A house which is already a home to three cats (not including the stray in the yard). As it stands today, none of them like one another. I’m keeping all for a week in advance hoping to get them acclimated to strange whiskers - unfortunately, it was all growls and hisses last night.
Thanks folks. I’m really just venting. I have never been away for so long. Three months is a lot of time on the trail. It’s my second Camino. From SJPP I’ll be familiar with the route. And I am pretty comfortable physically. I trained. Bunches actually.

Anyhoo...I know I’ll settle in. I’ve planned. My gites in France are set (by all reports, reservations are advisable in France). I know my body well. I’ve been doing 5hr workouts for months now. My pack is comfy. My shoes are broken in. My meds are stockpiled (I take a prescriptions a couple times a day). “I”’s and “T”’s are dotted and crossed. But LA to Lyon is a long way to go and a long road ahead of me after that. I’m looking forward to it. But I’m pensive too. Luckily, I’ll have some freshly made, oven baked toothpaste in my pack.
... to be assaulted by 'eau de chat' and tons of kitty litter strewn about the place.
