I spent the entire day yesterday going through my mountain of clothing, trying to slim it down to a manageable amount of stuff. I packed up my large suitcase and the little one, ended up with only half of my stuff packed and a two suitcases that are too heavy. So its on to Plan B.
I'm going to send some of my stuff in the mail. There is no way around it. I really do not think I have that much clothing. I wear all of my clothes all year, adding layers when it gets to be cold. I have a lot of shoes, most of which are flats or boots. I have way too many scarves, hats, and mittens because my mom is constantly knitting them for me.
So, I will have the large 50 pound suitcase, the smaller 30 pound suitcase, a 15 pound carry-on, and my purse. I will also have my parents send one or two 20 pound boxes to me once I get settled in.
Today, I head to chicago to turn in the last paperwork, and I say goodbye to friends tomorrow at the last bonfire. I still have to get to the bank and call the credit card company and buy one or two more things. I also need to email the travel and tech folks and ask them what exactly will be happening once I get off the plane, how do I get where I am going, is there going to be someone meeting me? In fact, I think I will do that right now.
