T-5 days until our Spain trip and this week is all about prepping. Lots to organize -- from packing to getting dogs ready, plants settled, house organized to be gone 9 days. It's an effort.
Trip nerves are high. I hate this part so much. Why do I ALWAYS get such trip anxiety?
Didn't help that I had gluten yesterday in the form of apple pie. My son has taken over the pie making (and I love it). It's an old family recipe and I had a big old piece. My joints are okay (probably the anti-inflammatory) but my mood is through the roof anxious. All my doing ... and kind of worth it too.
Easter dinner was a lot of fun. Lots of talk about Spain, some Spanish practice and good food. I made a dairy free version of mashed potatoes (as well as regular) and they were good. Nice to know dairy free is tasty too (used a version of sour cream).
Hubby left for Asheville for a few days. This gives me some time to get organized. I'm going to push hard today and tomorrow to EAT THE FROG FIRST and get the worst of the chores out of the way. This will help the anxiety and hopefully conserve some energy for the overnight flight and next day jet lag at the end of the week.
I took Duke for a run at the park yesterday -- totally dead. Church time and it was still cold and windy. One person arrived with a dog. This is where she parked. Seriously. Nothing but open spaces. I don't own the parking lot, but seems to me you could give a gal some more room. We had to hold back while she fussed to get her dog out before we could get to our car. People don't think.
Hope you're set for a good week. Later gators.
