Been very busy the last couple of days getting ready for our trip to Kansas (the Land of Aahs) to see our families for Christmas. Let's see
- Train Chris and Karen on how to take care of the critters while we're gone: Check
- Clean birdroom; cages, playpens and floor: Check
- Fill wood rack: Check
- Christmas cards filled out and mailed: Check
- Pay bills that won't wait: Check
- Do enough laundry to have clean clothes for the trip: Check
- Wrap and deliver presents for local friends: Check
- Water indoor plants so they don't die of thirst while we're gone: Check
- Call and bug the mortagage insurance company again: Check
- Make list of items to pack: Check
- Fill outside birdfeeders: Check
- Take trash to dump: Check
- Pack: What, we haven't even started yet - time to panic!
We are taking the airline that recently declared bankruptcy, so this ought to be interesting. Actually I'm rather hopefull that things will go according to plan/schedule right now, however that is due to change first thing in the morning when I will expect everything and anything to go wrong (as my sister pointed out - she has never known me to be an optomist). I usually tend to look at the glass as 1/2 full of arsenic poisoned water. I figure if I expect the worst, then 99% of the time I am pleasantly surprised - the other 1% of the time I can just nod wisely since I knew things would get all messed up.
