It’s the countdown for my next trip to LA, which will happen next week. Mail forwarding arranged: CHECK; housecare arranged: CHECK; transportation to the bus stop arranged: CHECK; and on and on. It’s a big deal leaving town for more than a week, and this trip will be almost five. So I’m working my way through my list. Tomorrow the furnace guys come for the yearly tuneup, so that will be out of the way; I’m getting my hair done on Friday. I’m still sorting through clothes to decide what to bring…it’s only a carry-on, so not much, but there are things I need to bring back to my LA closet that I had picked up there for the trip to Paris in May. I’m also trying to see as many of my friends as possible before I leave. These long trips put a change in their schedules as much as mine, especially those with whom I lunch every week.
I just picked up an email from Diana saying she has arranged tickets for the Craig Ferguson show one afternoon. I’m a huge fan of Craig…a truly silly, entertaining fellow. Oh sure, he’s on at 12:30 a.m., but some nights I’m not sleepy yet, so I watch. And I’m always glad when I do, as he never fails to get me laughing my head off.
Aurelia and I chatted on Skype a couple of days ago; she looked truly delighted when I said I’d be coming to visit her soon. We discussed breakfast foods! LOL Grammy and Aurelia know what’s important: starting the day off right, starting the day off together.
Today I have some errands to run and some cleaning to do….I get so bored with cleaning, don’t you? Same old chores, same, same, same. My friend Jane has just hired a cleaning lady; Joyce also has one. My budget, sadly, won’t stretch for it, but then, I really do need the exercise, so I should be glad, right? Have to finish these library books and videos and return them. That was just a random thought that popped into my head; better add it to the list.
