This is it: countdown week. By this time next Sunday - Easter Sunday - I'll be sitting in my hotel room in Minneapolis skyping home. I'm working Tuesday thru Saturday, so won't have any free time after tomorrow to make sure everything fits in my roll-on. I'm still deciding, actually, whether to check a suitcase. Probably should - that way there will be room to bring back the inevitable conference freebies, and I can pack my mini Swiss Army knife.
There's much to do at work - I've set up a blog for the library's conference attendees to record their notes from conference sessions, but need to publicize it before we leave and tell folks how to post. Trying to avoid having to type a a report after we return, because I know I'll forget something important. Next I want to collect everyone's cellphone numbers, and see which conference sessions they will be attending, so we can cover the greatest number with the least duplication.
At home, I also have much to do. Because Minn is cold, I need to think carefully about what I'm packing - I'll need a coat, gloves & hat, boots, no swimsuit this time, plus the laptop, a good book, and something to do (I think some knitting or crocheting). I need to get my miles in for the half-marathon, clean the fish tank, pay some bills, and decide what to do on Saturday for M, L, and P for Easter, since I'm leaving early Easter morning.
And in between, I'm learning to use i-Tunes and my new iPod shuffle. I've downloaded a book to listen to on the airplane, and some nice Hawaiian music. I'm beginning to understand how L can spend $18 at a time! Of course, my iTunes library is pretty slim at the moment, but that book will keep me occupied for a while.
