Lists

Last night I did the preliminary packing for my trip which involves me running through lists in my head. Unlike last time when temperatures were topping 100 degrees on a regular basis, this time it is much cooler with night time temps dipping into the 30s. This means I need to pack warmer clothes which equals taking up more space in luggage. I always have been bad at packing for trips and I almost always wind up over packing, wanting to be prepared for various scenarios. I think I am covered for this trip, hopefully.

Elsa has been frustrating me lately. The vet gave me the meds for incontinence that I have been breaking up and putting in her food. It seems like she somehow detects that the meds are in there, despite me mixing everything up thoroughly. The end result is she has not been eating normally. So as an experiment this morning I put no meds in her food and low and behold she licked the bowl clean. I’m not quite sure how I am going to work around this. I drop her off with Ali and Shuggs tonight.

Tomorrow I am getting up stupid early to make a 7AM flight. It’s going to be a long travel day. To help pass the time I bought a book to read. I would bet it’s been at least a couple years since I read a book so it will be good to embrace it during the long hours in the air.

I don’t anticipate posting anything until I return, no worries.
