My day started just before 3:15am, because 3:15am is when I finally said "bother" and got up out of bed.
I have the whirs going on in my brain. Lets hope that there is a bit of whir left for when I get to work, because they pay me to use my brain.
Part of my whir is that this time in four weeks I will no doubt be whirring madly, as we will be about to board a flight to the other side of the world to visit V's family.
Part of my whir is all of the things that need to happen work wise in those four weeks.
Part of my whir is all the family stuff that has to happen and that I will have and that I will miss.
Part of my whir is my to do list for the day before.
So instead I got up, made a cup of tea (ahhh, bliss), read a few blogs and applied for a quiz show.
On the upside, there is no mess of all my sewing to do pile in the background because I did sort that after my whir on the weekend realising that it was my second to last "full" weekend at home before we go.
This falls in the "family stuff that I will miss" - and we will see if my phone photos work any better when I get to the "family stuff that has to happen" because it has really decided to do some retro 70s style stuff of late.
Anyhoo - off to fix that whole "how to organise a Tuesday 27 days away" thing that got me up in the first place.
Any travel tips?

I'm ashamed to say it, but I wouldn't come to the US if I didn't already live here. I'm sure that V's family will be glad to see you all though. How long has it been?
The to do list as short fiction! Enjoy your trip. They'll be so glad to see you. Just enjoy.
That first cuppa tea solves many problems- even ones you didn’t know you had. Hopefully you’ll find a blend that suits while you’re away…..maybe toss a few tbags in the case - just add that to your list😊
I write the same type of fiction as in the meme. I hope the journey goes smoothly. In the last years I changed from "I need to have everything sorted" to "I can buy a t-shirt if I ran out of clean ones while travelling". It makes life much easier, well, unless you travel to an expensive part of the world and then it's better to have the right amount of t-shirts.
Love that description.. fiction writing!
I'm planning a trip too...I need to practice packing a very small bag with enough for two weeks.....
Travel tips? Remember your toothbrush. I've given up on to-do lists.
I hate having nights like those where I can't shut my brain off.
I have no travel advice. Not in my repertoire--lol!
I do hope you have a wonderful visit. :)
We were over there only 2 years ago - she is 80 this year
Will do
Oh I shall be packing two types of tea with me - I even take my own tea to my parents place because I do enjoy my cuppa!
ha ha - good plan.
Good luck!!
Good tip - even better, take it in carry on so you can brush during the flight.
I am blessed with the ability to go to bed generally first go - however once I am up, I am up. Thank you.
