Last night Melany called to tell me that the check in for our cruise was open (wasn't supposed to open until today). Wade had already checked both of them in and they wanted me to go on and check in so we could get the same boarding time. So I followed "orders" and did just that. It was fairly painless! I got all checked in and we did get the same boarding time. I guess you can say that was another hurdle cleared before we embark! This morning I found the link to print or download the boarding pass and also for printing luggage tags. Done and done! So another hurdle cleared!
I am fairly calm most of the time about this upcoming cruise, but every so often I sort of go into not really panic mode…but something close to that! I look around me and see all that needs to be done before the cruise…all the little piles of things that I want to take…but will all this "stuff" really fit into my suitcase and be able to fit in plenty of warm clothes, too!?! Gulp! Today I felt very discombobulated…but this evening I feel calm once again!
What I did was load up the dining room table…why not since I had it all cleared off! I used it to put out my photography items that I want to take on the cruise, I made sure that I have batteries, chargers, cords, etc. that I will need for each camera. I even labeled the cords so I will know what goes with which camera or charger. Then I started a list with three columns titled "checked bag," "carry on," and "personal item." And, listed where each of the items for my photography will be packed. Whether this will work in the long run…who knows! But I feel better for having done it! I have to make sure that cameras and anything with a lithium battery are either in my carry on or my personal item…they can't be checked!
All I can say is it is a start. I didn't get a lot done towards Cheryl's arrival, but I need to be making these decisions right along with my getting ready for company! I’m hoping that my head will stop spinning and I can get more accomplished tomorrow.
Esther stopped by this morning and left me two of her scrub shirts for Vet Tech school. She needed patches sewn on them. I did get that little sewing job completed this afternoon. And, then I promptly took a little nap in my sewing chair!
I have just returned from prayer meeting. I’m not sure what the evening will hold for me! As soon as I publish the blog, I plan to eat a bite of supper and then empty the dishwasher. That may be the extent of what I do this evening that takes much effort. I did finish the Cardinal Sampler yesterday and am now in the mood to work on another sampler and I have put in a few stitches today. I really need to get back to Christmas stitching. Plus I do have to choose what I’m taking on the cruise as I do plan to stitch on the Christmas ornaments while at sea…at least a little bit! Lots to do in these coming days!
To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!
