5 more sleeps

or lack of it...the thing is when preparing to leave on an extended trip, I have a hard time sleeping in the weeks leading up to the big day.  What am I forgetting to bring?  What am I forgetting to do?  What am I forgetting period?   I have lists everywhere and yet I still run around like a chicken with my head cut off. Why I work myself into such a state I don't know?  So I forget something will it be so terrible?  Actually on my last trip to the Bahamas I was so busy packing and doing everything I neglected to pack enough clothes for myself.  The whole time there I kept saying 'what was I thinking'?  Why didn't I pack this shirt?  Why didn't I bring a sundress?  No worries I guess the weather will be so hot in Thailand I will live in my two piece bathing suit (fits and looks good I might add) and my two sundresses I have remembered to pack this time.

On the home front the previous mentioned anxiety issue I was alluding to has worked itself out in my mind.  I've been sitting on the fence hoping a problem would just go away but have now realized that sometimes one must have an 'intervention'   When I was younger I loved confrontation and would start an argument just for the sake of a good debate.  Now I just want to chillax.

peace out Carol

Much overdue about nothing...

My gift of gab has gone the way of the winter snow here.  Non-existant and with two short weeks till the winter olympics.  The one ski hill where they are holding the snowboarding has patches of grass and they are covering the little snow they have with straw bales to try to preserve it.

In 10 sleeps we leave for Thailand for 2 months.(I hope no house robbers are reading this)  Said oldest son Harrison will be guarding the nest.   I feel confident that he will look after the place and himself.  I told him to hire a maid before I get home then what I don't know won't hurt him...

I've been dealing with alot of personal issues that I won't go into here but are causing my usual careless self  a bit of anxiety.  I don't know what life will roll me next but I am just going to go with the flow and follow what I think will be best for myself.

I will try to blog more in the future and definitely try to take you on my Thailand adventure but if I don't, catch me on Facebook I find its just easier there to update.
