Tomorrow is the big day

I thought we'd be resting today after our long trips, silly me. We all woke up very early this morning thanks to the time zone difference. After killing what seemed like hours, it was still only 9:00 am. We had made a list of important items to buy so we packed up and headed to Wal-Mart - which is 51 miles from our cabin. There is one other small market and gas station closer, they are only 16 miles away.

We managed to get everything, except the tire chains. Seems there is a snowstorm that is supposed to hit tonight. The cabin is up a winding road high on a mountain. We were told NO ONE is allowed on the road when it snows without tire chains. So we headed back to the hardware store 16 miles away and bought what they told us were the correct chains for our tires. Missy and I thought we were just incompetent at putting the chains on the tires. But then the caretaker for the property showed up and said they were the wrong size. Too bad the hardware store was closed by that point, and they were going to be closing the road soon. The real estate agent tried to find us some chains, but couldn't. So we had a decision to make. Do we wait and hope the road is clear, or head for lower ground to make sure we can make the appointment? Not much of a decision for me, we packed up and checked into the Comfort Suites in Valencia, California. Had a nice dinner at Macaroni Grill after we arrived.

I'm kind of glad we had such a hectic day, it kept us distracted. I'm really nervous about tomorrow. It may sound strange, but there is a part of me that doesn't want tomorrow to come. Up until now we have had hope. Tomorrow, it is either going to work or it will not work. There's a kind of finality to it. Please let it be the outcome we want.
