I’m a list maker and a list crosser-offer extraordinaire, it’s true, I admit. I began the preliminary list making within my head some time ago but the official lists began yesterday. I purchased a new Five Star notebook, which I utterly adore, just for this purpose.
I’m doing well so far, I only have a couple of lists: To Do, To Buy and To Pack.
The first, To Do, is quite long but already I’ve gotten to check off the put hold on mail while away. This was particularly important since we have a tendency to “forget” to pick up our mail and I’m pretty sure the postman despises us for this. He actually came to our door on a Saturday for the sole purpose of what I’ve decided was to dissolve my marriage. He told me that my dear husband had recently told him I no longer live here – of which my husband assures me he is mistaken. Regardless, let’s just say it’s best of the dear old postman doesn’t have to make the decision of what to do with our mail for us. Check!
Preparing to be anywhere but home for any amount of time with a mortgage, a lovely kitty, Lexie, who recently had major reconstructive knee surgery mere weeks ago, and two high maintenance yet awesome doggies: Sugar, our beautiful old beagle, and Bosco, our rowdy 2-year-old Golden Labrador, is a feat. Doing so for a two week trip across that little pond seems plainly an insurmountable task.
Need sleep, oh and to study for a test that if I don’t do well on could mean not graduating two days before we leave for said little trip. Test tomorrow, 11 a.m. – Now, 10:25 p.m. Not Prepared.
Will report more soon –
Much Love,
K
