Today, I made a very small step towards packing for my trip to Spain. I still have a lot to do, but I'm making baby steps. My goal for today was to take all the clothes thrown around my "closet" and organize them. The picture at right shows my clothes as they have been for a month, in three very crude piles: Work, Workout, and Everyday. So I needed to take them from those piles and move them into two piles: Ta
ke to Spain and Leave in Seattle.So to the left is my two piles. The small one is the back are the clothes that I will be leaving in Seattle. The larger pile up
front are the clothes I'm taking to Spain.Next I need to figure out how I am going to get all those clothes into my suitcase and my backpack. I also have all the other things I use on a daily basis. Hmm... This is going to take some creativity. I may have to pay the fee because my bag will be too heavy. 50lbs just isn't enough.
So far today I haven't freaked out too much about my trip. I'm just waiting for the overwheleming realization to hit. I have a feeling that when it does it will hit hard and I will be a sobbing mess on the floor. Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled to be going, but this is huge. This is pretty much the biggest thing I've done to date. The last big move I made was from Seattle to Tucson when I was 18. That seems like cake compared to this move. I have never been to Spain. I'm moving by myself. I don't even speak Spanish all that well! Ack! This is crazy. What an adventure I'm about to have. I feel like I'm bipolar sometimes. I have swings from excitement to apprehension in 15 seconds. I wonder when I'll actually be able to calm down about the whole thing. I'm guessing it will take several weeks after I get to Spain.
Well I suppose this is all for now. Tomorrow, I have more work to do on the packing front and some errands to run. Till then.
