Last night after posting
to my blog, I turned off the router and put the newly washed sheet
and blanket on my bed. I went to sleep.
I woke up not knowing
what time it was and wondering if I had missed the alarm again. But
no. I got on my laptop and Chris was waiting for me on Skype. I
replied by text, then went to the bathroom to finish brushing my
teeth. That is when he called. I moved the laptop to a sunny window
so I could soak up some daylight. We had a good chat until it was
time for his workout. Then I cleared some e-mail. Cecily had sent
me an e-card which reminded me of the advent calendar on the desktop.
I watched today's animation, wondering if I can get it on my laptop
over the holidays. I practiced my trombone and placed the mouthpiece
near the suitcase. I did my exercises. I juiced the aloe, remaining
broccoli, cucumber and some carrots. I cleaned up and tried to
meditate with Christmas music, and set a positive intention for
tomorrow. I read e-mail. I made two breakfasts, and ate one while
reading e-mail. I watched Smarter in Seven Minutes. I signed in to
the Delta website and printed out boarding passes. I put the
sprouted sweet potatoes in a large bowl of water in the garage. I
raked leaves and cones under the magnolia tree. I brought in the
rain collection tubs and folded laundry. I downloaded a pdf of all
Delta flights. It looks like all their flights out of HSV go to
Atlanta. Is that possible? I called Dad to find out what his indoor
temp was so I could pack accordingly. I looked up local places to
buy Earplanes. I drove to Bed Bath n Beyond. They did not have them
in stock. Neither did Target a few doors down. But Walgreens on the
corner had one package left. Since they are single-use, I will have
to find another pair in Richmond for the return trip (assuming they
work as advertised). Then I got out my packing list. I reviewed
everything on it because it is a little outdated and tries to cover
all seasons. I laid out outfits and took a pic for next time. I had
to choose one coat and scarf, not knowing what the weather will be
for the next 11 days. I bagged the clothing in clear plastic bags.
I packed the solid foods in a box which fit in my carryon. I
bubble-wrapped and double-wrapped the liquids and put them in the
suitcase. I took pics of my suitcase so I wouldn't forget what it looks like when it comes through the baggage claim. I chose a different purse and took only what was necessary out of mine. On and on it went. Finally I thought I was done. I
watched an episode of Lone Gunmen. Then I remembered my ipod and
headphones. But I could not find it anywhere. My ankle started
bothering me so I put on heeled shoes, not knowing why it hurt and
hoping it would resolve itself by morning. I weighed the suitcase
and it was about 40 pounds. I loaded the dishwasher and ran it. I
played an audio on the laptop. Michele skyped me for awhile, and I
got to talk to Chris, but not for long because it was LATE and I had
to get up early in the morning.
