Does anyone else ever wear their least favorite clothes the week before a trip, so you can be sure and take your favorite clothes with you, without having to do laundry?
That’s what i’ve been doing this week. I don’t want to do laundry before we leave. Hell, i don’t have time. I only go home to sleep this week. But i still have to find time to pack and clean the house in case my parents decide to sleep at our house this weekend (they are coming to see my brother) even though they told me they’re staying in a hotel.
I’m going to try real hard to pack only the clothes i need. I have a tendency to pack extra to give myself options to choose from. The goal is not to check any bags.
While we’re there, i’m going to miss some of my training. I know i will; there’s no use hoping i’ll stick to it. There just isn’t much time. Plus, concentrating for 10 hours a day is hard work, and tends to wear you out even if there is free time. But i am going to try, one time, to run. If i can do that, i will be very proud of myself. It doesn’t even have to be a long run. 3-4 miles would be satisfactory. All i have to do is get up a little early one morning.
The tournament should be fun, but exhausting, which is normal for bridge tournaments. And it will be a good chance to see Lance’s parents and brother.
One things’s for sure – there will be a huge pile of laundry to do when we get back.

I’m the same way before a trip, wearing all my least favorite clothes. I am also horrible at packing light. I like to have options, too! I mean how am I supposed to know what I’m going to feel like wearing four days from now?? I hope you have a great time in Cincinnati!
