It Just Snuck Up

 While it's true we planned this trip in a hurry, I still believed I had plenty of time to get all my shit done. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA   I'm hilarious.

A quick trip to California, legal paperwork dating back to my mother that has to be resolved and notarized (deeds/heirship/probate), several household issues that need to be managed, a huge two-day winter storm (crazy negative temperatures that I refuse to go out in), Joe's birthday, the holidays...my head is spinning from the distractions.

I finally got a basic packing list done (in my head). I still need to make a Target run (but...holidays, temperatures). I need to do some sightseeing research for both Berlin and Munich (even though we've been there before, there's so much more to see). Laundry. And yet, here I am posting to this Blog. Oh well.

I DO have a load of clothes going. I DO have enough underwear and socks for the trip. I DO have the brownies made for Joe's birthday (and candles, too). I DO know what I'm making for dinner tonight. And I DO have running water and heat, despite the crazy cold. Sooooo, I'm doing pretty good!

We leave on Tuesday. YIKES!

Gotta go --
