On The Road Again

That lurking medical issue disrupted our usual travel schedule. It's been much to long since we have seen our children. 

That is about to change. 

Tomorrow we leave for Indiana. We'll be in Marin for Hanukkah and Christmas and New Years and TBG's 75th birthday.

Three weeks later I'll be back in California to help when the new baby arrives. 

I really thought I had more time to get organized.  I feel as if I'm hopelessly behind.

But I did manage to clean my closet.  I stopped the mail.  I let the neighbors know we will be out of town. 

I don't need to pack very much; all my winter clothes live there and she doesn't charge for the use of her washer and dryer. 

Still,  I'm overwhelmed.  For no reason. My blood pressure is through the roof. 

Vacations are on the list of 10 Stressors.  I never appreciated that this fully before.  

Just writing it down helps.  Seeing it in words pushes me to recognize,  if not accept, that, as Little Cuter has taken to saying, It's all pretend. 

Thanks for listening,  denizens. Your therapeutic assistance is greatly appreciated.
