When: Sunday 1-20-13
Where: Claudia's room
Summary: The art of versatility.

Claudia's email to John last week was to set a date for this Sunday for him to help her pack. She knew, with the brownies, she wouldn't be up for anything but food last Sunday, and since not everyone got mellow - rather pissy instead - she was glad she'd done it that way.

The closet door was open, where she kept all of her unassigned clothes. She had her bag unpacked and in neat piles on the bed - regulation clothes, laptop, toiletries, the things Derek had them put in there. It made her itchy to even have it out of the bag, even though she had to take things out to put things back in. But that's usually when Murphy struck, and she could see herself carrying it all in her arms as she fled, dropping socks and underwear behind her like a trail of breadcrumbs.

"John, hi! Good to see you! Get in here and help me get my bag back together before the air raid siren goes off." Claudia practically yanked John through the doorway of the bedroom. "Eric is... somewhere. I know he wants to learn this, too. I'll pass on all the pearly wisdom you impart on me."

Claudia sighed. "My brain will probably explode from so many 'what ifs' anyway. It really is difficult to change a way of thinking, especially since I'm still in remedial English class." She gave him a rueful smile. "Thanks for this. You've not only given me a place to start, but a place to stop. Obsessing is not good. You're so busy doing it, you forget what's right in front of you."

Claudia opened her arms. "Can I get a hug, Mr. Sanity Saver?"

"Possibly," John agreed, grinning. "You'll get there, Claudia. It's new and it's hard. But, you're smart and you're trying. And you've got people around to help. You'll get there. It's the way this works. Those who know teach those who don't and everyone's chances improve just a little."

Standing up, he rolled his eyes good-naturedly and then leaned over to give her a hug. "Girls and hugging. It's like an addiction," he teased. Straightening again, he nodded toward the piles on the bed. "Now, back to work, you. Let's see how impressive your bag packing skills are."
