Never Ending Checklist
Posted on 30. Apr, 2008 by Deb in Just.....Me, Just....Working, Just...Traveling
The work with my newest client will be (mostly) out of the DC area and my next trip in will involve staying 12 nights in a row. In one way, I am really looking forward to it….because the thing that stresses me on the travel is all the back and forth part. Once I am in a city, I’m usually good.
Especially when I am in DC. I am always good when I am in DC.
But I digress.
I am working on a never ending checklist of things to do before I go. In the last few days I have:
- Bought several new suits (no time to lose enough weight to get into old ones)
- Got my Estrogen Shot
- Bought Pet stuff: dog food, guinea pig food
- Dog to Groomers
- Nails Done
- Hair Colored and Cut
- Cleaner’s
- Kid’s Meds Filled
I know there are still things I need to do….and I need to start packing since I am going for such a long stretch. Good thing I know a couple of folks in DC with washing machines 
Now, the good thing about packing is, if I stay at the same hotel each trip, I can leave stuff there. You know, bathroom stuff, and suits that have been cleaned. Stuff like that.
I am hoping a little bit more structure to my work days will help me structure better some other things. For some reason, I find the more I need to do, the more I actually accomplish. We’ll see if it holds true. I am hoping that I will visit the gym at the hotel – and I know that I will do more than a little bit of walking. Part of the reason i chose the hotel I did was that it is in a place where I can walk to places for dinner – or hop the metro and go somewhere.
Tomorrow, I am heading to Dayton, OH and will be visiting the Wright Patterson Air Force Museum. Home Saturday and then back out Sunday evening.
gotta run. Dog is done being groomed. And I have kids to pick up from school in a bit…..
Happy Hump Day!
