Today I:
- couldn’t remember the safe place I put the big rolling suitcase
- was humbled when LP found it under her dresser, which was the safe place I chose
- packed the big suitcase
- laid out my clothes for the plane
- bought a case of dog food for Hoagie
- delivered Hoagie and about 12 pounds of dog food to Big Dog Camp
- felt a bit overwhelmed at how proud of and attached to him I am after only ten days
- bid LP farewell
- bought a white cardigan
- also possibly something else
- could not find the smaller wallet I like to carry on trips
- did not buy a new wallet
- came home and unpacked a few things and put in new/other ones
- changed my mind about what to wear on the plane
- changed it back again
- changed it back again again
- decided not to carry the red backpack after all
- failed to find that little pill carrier thing; did I leave it at your house? is it hiding with the smaller wallet?
- worried about the weather–you could insert that in between each line above
- talked to friends on the phone about the weather–times about six or seven, plus Facebook
- left instructions for care of the cat
- decided to drive to the airport and park in the garage
- wondered how I can possibly both relax enough to sleep *and* wake up in the middle of the night?
Still left to do:
- re-pack my carry-on
- talk to a few more friends, who I’ll probably see tomorrow, but who can help it?
- make sure all the important forms of ID and pieces of paper and plastic are in my too-big wallet or my purse
May well happen:
- realizing it’s not big enough to also hold various medications in their original bottles
- reverting to the backpack?
- freaking out for no reason again
Hat tip to my boys, who once showed me this. I’ll be back next week.
I'm smiling. Just BE.Hope it's the best one yet.LYMI.

FWIW I carry a separate pouch/bag with meds because mine don't fit in that 1 quart bag. I just plop it in the bin and say "and these are my meds." LOVE the rolly LL Bean bags (mine is black). And lastly, I hope you are rested, refreshed and renewed. Safe journeys!
