Champagne and Socks

OMG I hate packing. And NOT packing stresses me out. So I’m starting the not packing much earlier than usual to … bloody hell, I don’t know.

Actually, what I fear is not remembering everything and also having to commit to making decisions about what will come and what won’t. It occurs to me though that instead of worrying about not getting it all done, or not packing everything I might want, if I action *some things* then at least I would have *those*. Like updating my ipod now and not trying to do it 15 minutes before the cab arrives like normal.

I know. I take a really long time to get the hang of some things.

ETA: 2 hours later and  I am much further along the packing process. My suitcase is reasonably full. I’ve done several loads of washing. I have updated and charged my ipod (pretty sure I last used it at last WFC). And I’ve put things aside for my carry on bag. Still a way to go but being able to identify things for the shopping list and where to go from here is indeed helpful. Also knowing I don’t need a back up book because I have at least this week’s podcasts to catch up on for the plane ride.
