What Struck Me

We’re out of here bright and early tomorrow morning, so…
Today’s list:

• Sleep in because we lost an hour and I really need that hour we lost
• Watch The Weather Channel to make sure Sunny California will be Sunny
• Only to discover it is supposed to snow here tonight!
• Rethink “layering” strategy for tomorrow- how to stay warm in Newark and not be stuck with winter coats in LA
• Wish Andy luck in the regional bowling tournament as he leaves
• Ignore mommy guilt for not going to watch
• Do one last load of laundry and throw away food that won’t last a week alone at home
• Print out boarding passes
• Reconfirm rental car and hotel
• Gather Important Travel Documents in one place
• Finish packing
• Realize I’m going to see rarely seen relatives and even Mickey Mouse in the next few days (yay!)
• Say “see ya real soon!” to all my internet buds
• Turn off the internet

Keep an eye on my moblog for updates from the road!

I drove the doggie up to my parents’ house today, where she’ll be vacationing while we’re away. She started whimpering as soon as we got three streets away, knew just where we were going. I know she’ll be spoiled rotten up there, I’m so glad they take her for us.

Got to get back to packing- almost done!

I was in the middle of taking a shower and the water slowed to a trickle. Eek! I managed to get the shampoo rinsed out at least! Called Mr. Fixit and he walked me through getting the well pump running again, which consisted of flipping the switch on and off a couple times and finally just jiggling the box to the pressure gage.

The list of little electrical things that have to be fixed around here:

• The dimmer switch in the dining room that takes three hits to go on
• The fluorescent light in the bathroom that leaves you in the dark for 30 seconds before kicking in

and now add

• The pump pressure thingie.
