Cata release blues.

So friggin bored....    
     So I've completed my checklist for pre Cata release. I've prepped my wife for the march to 85 (after 5 years of playing though, she knows the drill). I've gotten my PC all cleaned out and ready for my install. I've updated all my add-ons with ones that are Cata compatible. Justice Point caped, check. Plenty of honor points, check. Cleaned out my bags and bank and ditched my old pvp gear, check, check and check. Hell, I've even done 25 daily quests and not turned them in yet so I can get XP for them after Cata goes live!
    Instead of feeling excited about the release in two days, I'm just bored and a bit apathetic. Don't get me wrong, Cata is great; best quests I've done in WoW, (Uldum mmmh) good dungeons etc. Still, something is missing for me in the "right now" of playing WoW. My buddy (who will be going to the local Cata launch even with me tomorrow night), proposed a shopping trip to buy energy drinks and snacks for the charge up to 85, but that's still not enough to get my blood pumping yet.
     Maybe since I leveled 2 priests and a druid up to 85 in beta I'm not as excited as I would otherwise have been. Maybe I'm nervous because I'm not really good @ leveling (hence doing it 3 times in beta). Maybe I'm just experiencing a certain amount of trepidation associated with going from the top of my game to square one again. In any case, I'll be standing outside with some friends tomorrow night, marveling @ the costumes, the diversity of people in my rather small town who come out, and talking about my favorite addiction with strangers, before settling in for the blitz to 85.
