progress: I hope this will last

I'm flying home this afternoon, and woke up on my own at about 7:30. For the trip up here, I woke when my alarm went off, at 6:15.

Neither of those is sleeping late, but they're better than my usual pattern for travel days: I was expecting to be up before that alarm on Friday, and likely before seven this morning.

This has never gone with specific anxiety: I usually pack the night before (though I haven't this time, since it's "just put everything I brought, plus the things I bought Saturday, [back] into the suitcase" and neither flying (this trip) nor buses or trains make me nervous. I do fret about being late for things, and usually leave enough time that I can then get bored at the airport or bus terminal.

So, I'm getting this Jack Layton t-shirt. I still agree with the comment on that shirt, and it feels like I need it, in these times when hope and optimism seem difficult, and there's much to be afraid of.

I'd placed a tentative order, for if/when it was reprinted, and then forgot about it. Teespring just emailed to say it's being printed; I can cancel if I no longer want the shirt, and if anyone else wants one, you have until Friday about 11 pm Thursday EST to order.

(Yes, it's bright orange, because it's the NDP.)
