Yesterday Hank and I had about 6 hours
to ourselves to tackle
The Inexorable Mountain of Impedimenta in the corner of our bedroom. Thanks to Nana and our sweet friend Jessie, we were able to focus on sorting, organizing, and packing 446 pounds of everything from lip balm to lidocaine. It was amazing how much we were able to accomplish without our 4 little helpers!
We are hoping that our scale is close to the airport's scale. The night before our flight, we will go to the airport and weigh the bins to see if they agree that each one is under 50 pounds!
Lest you start to suspect us of over-packing frivolous paraphernalia, I would like to draw attention to the plastic grocery bag in front of Hank's knee. In that little bag is about 80% of the clothing I am taking for myself for 3 1/2 weeks. Am I absolved?
Thanks to the Bombay Bicycle Club station on Pandora, some nourishing chocolate-covered raisins (also courtesy of Nana), and enough excitement to propel us at least halfway across the Atlantic, we overcame The Mountain!
