Vacation Readiness

This is one of those days when it would be easier to work than to be off because I have a list that may be impossible.  I've already convinced myself that, no, I cannot make it to the laundromat to wash the king size comforter.  I'm almost positive that I can't!

I am a multi- tasker as are many women I think.  My husband is more focused on one task and it's hard for him to change his mind and add to that.  He now will drive through the post office on his way to work and mail letters though.  When I make my list I also create a route and number the stops so I can do as many things as possible.  I could never just "run out for one thing".  That would be crazy.

This morning I did a little highlight sheet for my KitchenAid training session at Bloomingdale's tomorrow morning.  That's all set.  Since I cooked yesterday for a customer and that's not my normal Monday, I also had to go to the KitchenAid site to see what the weekly special is, luckily I do not need one of these.  Go ahead, look, you may need this and now maybe you too will HAVE to check the weekly special.  Don't let me be alone in my obsessions. 

I also started to get ready for the demo I'll be doing at the Buckhead Bed, Bath and Beyond on May 5th.  If you'd like to see the mixer with the food grinder attachment, I'll be there using it and I'll have some snacks.  I'll be there 11 until 3.  Mother's Day is coming you know and I don't think a kitchen appliance is a bad present.  I've always loved kitchen equipment. 

Once I was ready to leave the house I was off to Petco.  I understand the quick rate of dog food consumption because Maggie weighs 100 pounds.  I don't understand how 2 small cats can eat as much as they do.  They are slightly overweight but they don't weigh 25 pounds together!  One 40 pound bag of dog food, one 18 pound bag of cat food. 

Then the library.  I have to have books for the trip just in case the knitting thing goes awry.  Yes, I have made it past the first 9 rows on the sock, but only after starting over twice more.  I am now into the pattern and so far so good, but I've only done 6 more rows. 

Last night I did 2 rows and discovered it takes me 30 minutes to do two rows.  I'm making a sock, using size 2 needles, so the sock should take me forever.  And then I have to make a second one.  My wonderful husband suggested that maybe a scarf would be a better choice for trip knitting.  I don't think he understands how relaxing knitting can be.

Of course the drugstore was on the way to the library so had to go there for toothpaste and a graduation card.  Apparently everyone enjoys baking soda peroxide toothpaste because there was none!

This afternoon I am going to donate blood, go to Jazzercise and meet with a new client.  And then today will be done.  Of course I've also lightly cleaned the bedroom, giving up on the laundromat, and my load of laundry is in the dryer. 

I'm back from giving blood, that only took about 30 minutes.  They did however say that I should not go to Jazzercise so now I have free time!  The laundry load is done, maybe I can make it to the laundromat!  No, maybe I should just read one of the books I got today.  Or maybe I could do 4 rows of knitting.  Repeat to self :  relaxing is okay, relaxing is okay.
