Hello and Goodbye

well my friends, i am here to check in briefly as i frantically try to get ready to go to Peru. I can only take my 2 carry-on's. Oi. this will be interesting. but we are staying in a nice hotel (by the internet pics) and they do have a laundry service, so it shouldnt be to bad, right? anyway what i am really working on is getting my house and family and food in order. Laura- joe's mom- is staying here with the kids, and she really knows how things go. but still i am all worried and paranoid cuz its not me ya know? oh well. i am really glad that i am able to go this time. :)
so that is me right now.
All in have to do by wednesday is:
1- finish laundry
2- vacuum upstairs
3- wash claysen's sheets
4- go food shopping
5- clean both bathrooms
6- wash my sheets on thursday
7- PACK
8- make sure all is ok at YW for while i am gone. i will miss 1 sunday and 1 wednesday.
9- take the dog in for her check up
10- update budget
11- get animal medicine
12- take library books back
13- check with Laura to see what she needs to help
that is all right now. i look at it and think- that isnt bad! but then i remember that i have limited energy. i have to be very careful what i do get done and when, otherwise, i am completely useless the next couple days. BUT i did find out from my dr. that i can take half a melatonin (1.5 mg) every night if i need to help me sleep! yeah! my dreams are crazy and they wake me up, and i just am restless. its sad. so i think i will be taking one tonight for sure so i can function tomorrow. and melatonin is not addictive, your body makes it, but i will still be cautious. no worries. anyway- there is my up date. and you might not here from me until i get back! then i will post pictures of Dia's house and Peru. unless i get my list done by tomorrow, then i will do dia's house on wednesday!
have a great week!
