a day to pack...

 I do not like packing, I do not like traveling, yet I love it.  I am not nervous, but my body is nervous.  My heart skips some beats, my anxiety flares up, I am not actively worried, but traveling does something to me.  It's fun and exciting and adventurous, yet scary in a way that I am not describing very well.   Will my knees hold up?  

A carryon is not that big, can I just say that?  I am not keen on traveling in my suede Bear Paw boots, so they have to go in the suitcase. I'll wear my fake-Birkenstock clogs.  One sweater, and the coffee pour over, one jean skirt, three pairs of leggings, two dresses, one pair of sweatpants, three tops, one night gown, underwear and socks for five days, and some Reese's Easter candy for my niece Janet.  If they weigh that bag, I'll be paying, it's way over 18 pounds.  

My backpack is for the liquids that the TSA so nicely allows us to bring, tiny little things of shampoo and conditioner and miniature toothpaste.  My hairbrush and phone charger and the snacks will also go into the backpack.  My plan is to go to the pool tomorrow morning and leave from there, so I get a nice swim in before all the traveling.  


So much cuteness!  We went to Target yesterday, I needed to pick up an order and get a few things.  Mr. Jamie got some new sunnies.  :). 


It was a strange day, freezing cold Sunday, snow all night, then Monday morning it was snowing with the sun shining and the birds singing...spring WILL come, but when I see my friends from across the ocean delighting in their crocuses blooming, wow.  Our warm season is just shorter here.  

Interesting fact:  the weather forecast in Norway:  warmer than central New York!  Thursday is supposed to be 50 and sunny!  Then in the forties and a little bit of rain for the weekend.  It'll be cold and snowy here this weekend!  

Ah well....life is interesting.  It just speeds along, we need to make the most of our days.  You enjoy yours!
