Early Monday morning I rolled over in bed to watch Studly Doright pack for an overnight business trip. The act took him exactly three and a half minutes. I timed him.
On Monday around 3 p.m. I began packing for a week long road trip to Texas. As of nine p.m., I’m still at it. Now, keep in mind this isn’t a business trip. Most days I’ll just wear jeans and a blouse; although, I am packing a dress and heels for the evening that my niece and I go to see Michelle Obama in Austin.
So why does it take me so long to pack?
- I get distracted easily. I had to watch the Ellen Degeneres Show, and then I needed a snack.
- The characters in the book I’m currently reading are in a rough spot, so I had to stop and read them out of it.
- My favorite jeans needed to be washed.
- My niece texted me to say I needed a clear bag for the Michelle Obama event, so I had to go shopping.
- My regular wallet was too big to fit in the clear bag, so I also had to buy a new (cheap) wallet.
- I got hungry. Again.
- My cats’ litter boxes had to be cleaned.
- The car I’m driving to Texas was filthy. I drove to the car wash and cleaned it inside and out.
- The cats needed to go out on the back porch.
- Then the cats needed to come back in.
- Out.
- In.
- Facebook.
- Write a blog post.
I know I’ll get the job done eventually. Maybe after “The Voice” is over.
Peace, people!
Great post 😁

A fair bit of procrastination in there, I’ll wager

I actually thought of you when I was writing this. You’d have had a checklist and been able to pack in half an hour. There is no telling what I left behind, and I was still adding stuff this morning. Just stopped at Starbucks. Onward!

I just checked into a hotel in Lafayette, Louisiana, for the night. (4:34 pm on Tuesday) I was not a great traveler today. 😏

Mr Doright would have been able to achieve that magnificent feat only because you would have had everything ready for him to place in his suitcase. I tend to go with your method, but of course it all depends on the type of trip you are making and for how long, taking in airline weight allowances. But yes it can take a while. Enjoy the talk and the visit with your niece.
