Trip preparation
Got up this morning around 11:30, had breakfast and coffee, then showered and dressed and went to pick up my laundry.
Again, it was light enough that I didn't bring the cart, and I just carried it home and put it in the bedroom. Then I put in a Shipt order.
Then while I was waiting for the order to come, I started packing for my trip. I used my duffle bag, as it's good for a carry on luggage and easy to carry. I packed all my clothes that I'm bringing. It won't be enough, I'll have to do laundry while I'm there, butmashfanficchick sings the praises of Dani's washer/dryer combo. Put the dirty clothes in, and they come out clean and dry.
So just when I was finishing up the clothing packing, the Shipt order came so I put that away, and then packed my meds.
Then I puttered around aimlessly, though I did do one important thing, I switched the remaining storage unit, of Oldest Brother's things, onto my credit card, and paid it for the month. Then I texted the Kid to discuss it. We will try to get it cleaned out by the end of this month. One way or another. Sadly there is little in there to save.
I emptied out the extraneous stuff from my computer bag, preparatory to using it as a purse on my trip.
I also ordered a belated birthday present for the Kid, two skeins of very nice yarn.
I spent most of the rest of the afternoon just puttering, though I did take time out to eat.
Then at 7:00 I Teamed the FWiB, or 7:15 to be more precise. We talked for about an hour and a half, and then I had dinner and went and lay down. Played solitaire and read, and at 10 it was pet feeding time.
I fed the pets, and then got out the timer I bought several years ago and attempted to set it up to control the turtle tank light. I think I did it wrong though because it should have turned off by now, and hasn't. I will investigate after I finish writing.
Gratitude List:
1. The FWiB.
2. Clean laundry.
3. Packed to go.
4. My pets.
5. Nice warm day.
6. Shipt.
Edited to add: The light just turned off! I think I did it right!
