MAGEN!

Let’s go about it with a Socratic method..

Why are you going on vacation?
What do you hope for?
What is ACTUALLY stressing you out?
Are other causes of stress to this stress? What are they?

Aaaaand.. The pep part.

You can pick your friends, but you can’t pick your family. Family is stressful. You can let that stress affect you and run you down, you can try to ignore it and focus on the positive, or you can even turn those anxieties into something positive.

You don’t have to worry how you look, you’ll look great if you feel great. You won’t feel great if you’re worrying. And even if you spend all of your time thinking of all the possibilities of what could go wrong or go right, you’re probably wrong. Things don’t go as we expect them to. Sometimes they do. Regardless, worrying about your reaction to something that hasn’t even occurred yet is a waste of your beautiful brain space.

So don’t stress!! I can feel the stress from here!!! >.< I love you sister, and I can't wait to see you and your man partner beast when y'all get here!!

Yay! And I definitely hope to meet you at DEF CON.
There will also most likely be a lot of mom-isms while on the trip like asking me to make her phone a cloud.

You should! I definitely think that it could be helpful/beneficial.

I’ve been questioning whether to do a post on “how to pack for the itinerant infosec nerd” — I guess I should. I’ve gotten pretty good at it with newjob.

It’s good to have a list ready, but you can only think about so much. You can always do laundry when you arrive and more importantly, you can buy anything you forget to pack when you get here!

I don’t mind you calling me that. In fact, I am amused. Hopefully we’ll get to meet in person one of these days. Meantime, I’m glad that post was helpful. Enjoy your trip. I look forward to reading about stuff your Mom says. I seem to remember that last year she wanted you to build her her own personal cloud.
