stressed

 I panic when I have to pack

    Seriously.  It is very stressful for me.

    For example:  Going for 6 days, are 12 pairs of boxers enough? Do I take more shorts or more jeans?  Do I really need 2 pairs of shoes and 12 pairs of socks?

    Why is t here a Monopoly game in my carry on????

    I have packed 3 times.  I think I am done.

    But that gnawing doubt tells me I forgot something.

    One. time I went to France and did not bring socks.  OK for a Frenchman, but not for me.  I ended up buying 6 pair at a discount store.

    Sure, they may have been green with pink polka dots, but they were cheap!  And. they almost fit.

    I never know until I look in my suitcase.  Did I remember the charger for the cell phone?  Actually, no, I did not until just now.  OK, found a cord, so I am good.  But will I remember to put it in the bag after I finish here?

    Emily is picking me up at 6:30.  That is A.M.  I am not an early riser.  I probably will sleep in the car and sleep on the plane and sleep in the place when we get there.  By 10 p.m. I will be ready to go.

    Nervous?  No, I am not nervous.  I have flown dozens of times.  Not nervous at all.  But I seem to be super hyper right now and although I am tired, I am not sleepy.  Make sense?

    Sunday night a kicker came out to try a field goal.  On he way out he took off his helmet, patted his hair, put on his helmet, took it off..... he did it about 4 or 5 times.

    When asked about it he said he was OCD.  Boy, I get that!  I have checked my suitcase 3 times to be sure I put whatever in and I have checked the back door several times.  I am never sure if it locked it or unlocked it, so I have to check it again.

    And Renee and Wendy:  Curse you and bless you.  When you brought dessert you said it was Blue Bunny cherry with chocolate chunks.  I bought some yesterday and have eaten about half the container.  Wendy is right.....it is darn good!  And I am darn fat!!
