Back for a check in....
Linda, sorry you didn't sleep well! I hope your day passes quickly!
Ruth, I know Madame D will pull through just fine! I hope you make progress on your paperwork while you're waiting.
Jennifer, congrats! on a successful ride! That is such an accomplishment...and I love the part about eating the Clif bar so you looked like you were supposed to be walking
Twynn, it took me several days to get that "day 1" but it's sure been easier since then. Love your new title, "master extractor".
Pearlrose, I hope you get caught up at work and have a good result at the soccer game tonight!
OK, the only thing left to do is to pick up in the office and think out a clothes box. The key to my success with the traveling is being organized. I have duplicates of all the essentials stocked in both locations; toothbrush, makeup, shampoo, and most importantly VITAMIX. I used to have a reliable wardrobe in both places but my stuff migrated over here this summer. My job this morning is to pack leisure stuff to take over there, which I will leave...including undies. Then all I "have" to carry back and forth is laptop, camera, planner, phone, important bank bag and veggies. The cat made her last trip two weeks ago. She is older and much happier in one place. Bing absolutely loves the car and is asleep in the back within minutes. I gave DH his instructions re my arrival from work. I think I'm going to put my stuff in the car before work so I don't have to think afterwards. DH will drive and I will "surf". It's worth it for nice fall days at the hot springs!
Have a great day everyone!
