1. Freak out about packing, because there is never a good time to start, we never have enough space, and yet we always take too much stuff.
2. Notify everyone within a 25 mile radius of home that we'll be in town in case they want to get together.
3. Pre-plan every breakfast, lunch, and dinner so as to accomplish #2 without leaving anyone out or spending too much time with any one person, group, or organization thereby offending other persons, groups, and organizations, thereby removing us from wills and/ or Christmas lists in the future - not an option.
4. Pack all necessary items including many unnecessary items for two adults, one baby and one high maintenance dog to permit us to be away from our apartment for 4 very short days - not to mention it's daylight savings time and we lose a whole 60 minutes to nothingness (completely unfair and litigious).
5. Freak out for approximately 24-72 hours about our plane going down en route.
6. Streamline books to take for pleasure reading: HA. That's a good one!
7. Coordinate pick up and drop off of earlier mentioned high maintenance dog, then over analyze the effects of leaving him for 4 days on his non-existent psyche.
8. Consume any perishable food items from frig and cabinets - check.
9. Water plants - shit I always forget to do that on a regular basis - thereby making me feel really guilty about leaving them for several days without the option of having me water them.
10. Make lots of lists.
Though every trip home is always much anticipated and way too short, I will not have nostalgia for these packing, unpacking, and repacking trips once we are permanently relocated in O to the izz-O.
