Countdown Craziness
So it’s 14 days until we leave for our 2-day drive to Florida. I’ve been going crazy, organizing and packing, although to look at my room you wouldn’t think so. I can’t wait to pack all my clothes, so I think I’ll be doing that next week.
We’re leaving May 22nd at like 2am. I probably should be planning to sleep ALLLLL day on the 21st, but I’ll be busy saying goodbye and such. I’ve got a lot of hours for this weekend, so I’m excited for that. I really hope that I manage to stay calm.
Right now I’ve just been organizing the rest of my life. Sunday School, Sparks, work, etc., plus making appointments with doctors and my hair place. I had one appointment today, one last week, and my hair appointment is next week. The doctor’s appointments resulted in 84 dollars worth of prescriptions, which is crazy, but it’s for 3 months, so I can understand. Today I bought multivitamins - Kid’s Chewable, because I HATE swallowing large pills.
There are 3 milk crates, a tiny rubbermaid tote, a giant space bag (with comforter, sheets, pillow cases, rug, blanket, and towels), a closet hanger, my exercise mat, and a memory foam mattress sitting outside my room. My dad comes down and looks at the pile and just shakes his head. I’m so glad we’re driving down! I don’t know what I’d do if I couldn’t bring all my stuff.
So over the last month I’ve stocked up on underwear and shorts and general summer clothes, along with all the toiletries anyone could possibly want. My family put me in charge of snacks for the trip down, but I’m broke as no joke, so I don’t know how I’m going to swing that one. I’ve got to pay all my bills and shut off my phone before I leave. What good is an emergency credit card if it’s full?!?
All in all, I’m very excited. I’m trying to swing a mini DV cam from my neighbour so I can take videos of my adventure and post them, but I don’t know if they’re going to go for it. I’ve got a muffin-baking adventure soon, so I can freeze muffins, and I’m figuring out which foods I can eat with my IBS. I don’t want to have an episode down there, I won’t have time to be in pain!
I’ll be back before I leave. More packing to do!
