I am busy preparing to leave on a 4 day quilting retreat. I'm not folding fabric (much). I'm not putting things away in my spiffy new cabinets... I am instead prepping all the parts for the placemats I'm making for thanksgiving dinner, and getting my tools together for a trip to the seashore and 4 days of nothing but quilting in my pajamas.
I did hear from my shipper today and my new china cabinet should be arriving on Weds or Thurs. I hope it'll be Weds, because I'll be leaving for the retreat on Thurs midday. Would be all kinds of suck for it to come Thurs afternoon after I was on the road. I told the shipper this, and he said he'd make all effort to arrive here on Weds. We shall see...
Tonight I ran D&D for my husband and friends, and tomorrow I am going to play some D&D at a friend's house in Pasadena. Nothing like a little re-direction to focus your drive... Maybe Monday I'll get back to finishing my prep for retreat.
I love the retreats themselves, but the planning and logistics of taking everything I need without overloading is always stressful. Whether it's a retreat, a cruise, a weekend vacation... I always take too much stuff. I'd love to hear how others handle this issue....
