3-day self-retreat starting tomorrow!

Right!
I have six days off work, and I am taking three of them to do a self-retreat in the forest.
8 precepts, no food after midday, etc.
I've set up a dry spot for meditation, covered by a tarp , and I have a good tent.
I'll sleep at the campsite tonight, and then from 5am tomorrow morning (Thursday) I will meditate, be mindful, etc etc, until Saturday evening at 9pm.
I've never done a self-retreat before. I've done about 5 or 6 ten-day retreats, but never alone, without the peer-pressure and encouragement of other people around me.
I expect the hindrance of restlessness to be a very big challenge. It would be so easy to jump up and abandon the whole thing.
But NO! Strong determination!
Wish me luck, and send me metta and encouragement please!
