My bags are packed and I'm almost ready to go.
I'm carrying enough knitting projects for 3 weeks, but who knows how much knitting time I'll have this week. I do have clothes packed, right beside those knitting projects. I've been watching the weather forecast for Virginia, but variances can mean the difference between being comfortable or freezing in a short sleeve shirt with a sweater. So I'm bringing a couple of long sleeved turtlenecks too.
Other adventures in travel include having a quart see-through self-closing plastic bag for lip gloss, hand stuff, asthma inhaler, etc. for carry on. I flew last weekend, so I just left those things in the same bag all week in my purse. Why change when I'm flying this weekend too?
But the clincher for travel prep? Meds. I'm moving delivery of my prescriptions from Walgreens to my insurance's mail order service. It's supposed to be much cheaper. But starting it takes longer than one would anticipate. MUCH longer. I got one of the refills today (zyrtec). BUT I didn't get the one for my high blood pressure med or my anti-depressant med. This is serious stuff folks, and I had promised myself I wouldn't run out of the BP meds again. WRONG. Oops.
I called Walgreens, who said to call my doc. I left a rather panicked message for his nurse begging them to have Walgreen's give me a refill for 8 days worth. My mail order refills will no doubt be here tomorrow (and I won't be here then), so I should be able to use them when I return.
Other than packing my yarn stash, wardrobe alternatives and fretting stressing out to the max about the meds, Joel and I took down the window screens and I replaced the storm door screen with the glass insert. Very exciting.
