Today looks to be a full day, the last before the "Cosmic Muffin" takes off for the Pleiades.
Things I have promised to do today:
Visit Jon, Missy, and Violet to record greetings to grandmothers. Ditto Bobby, Laura, and Sara. I also need to corral Gretchen to do the same.
Move furniture around to make room for the Great Kitchen Makeover.
Things I need to do today:
Get my hair cut. (Thank you, Marilyn. After 39 years, your still my favorite barber.)
Pack my suitcase(s) for the trip.
Pack said suitcases into the Jeep.
Totally obscure my rearward vision with enough hanging clothes to outfit the cast of a remake of "King Solomon's Mines".
Make sure I have not forgotten to pack anything small and necessary (medications, phone, hats, etc).
Make sure I have not forgotten to pack anything large and necessary (computers, cameras, fishing equipment, shoes, boots, and/or my brain).
Feed the cat who normally ignores me and has suddenly fallen in love with my ankles.
Things I really ought to do today but probably won't:
Grease the suspension on the Jeep.
Keep smiling. Note to any who might cross my path today: I'm not mad at you, I'm probably running through a mental check list.
Things I will positively do today:
Pack something seemingly necessary, but totally useless.
Pay too much for gasoline.
Forget to pack something I will need, forcing another trip to some foreign Wal-Mart.
Tell all of my family (especially Marilyn) how much I love them and will miss them for the next 3 weeks.
You have know idea how much I will miss you while you are gone. I hope that yo have a wonderful and safe trip.
ReplyDeleteI love you Dad.
