Our departure is nearing and there is still so much to get done.
- ready the car
- decide which car
- get the suitcases out
- pack
- gather all the stuff to take
- ready the dogs
- work
- decide when we leave
- where we’re stopping
- pack whichever car we take
- leave
Each bullet can support it’s own list of secondary bullets if needed for further explanation. And that’s just all the physical listings, don’t get me started on the emotional listings! They’d take up a yellow rule lined note pad!
All in all I am excited about the trip. It’s much needed, on multiple levels. It will be stressful. It will be fun. And it is a chance to get out of here for a while. Sometimes just a change in scenery helps clear the head of cobwebs, muck, and confusion. But it’s family. That’s the thing, it’s all about family. I’ve come to realize that I not only need my family close, I want them close. They are a part of my identity. I’m not saying I want to live in the same house as them, forever. Maybe not even the same street. The same state, definitely, city? possibly. I just need and want them close.
