It turned out that my hairdresser was booked all day yesterday -- surprising to me, since I thought Supercuts did not take reservations? I need to investigate that. So I trimmed my bangs myself and I'll get my haircut after I get back from my trip. (Can't do it today, as my hairdresser is off.)

I also couldn't buy the moisturizer I wanted; it was out of stock. So I'll also get that after I return.

I inadvertently saved money, but of course, I will be spending it eventually.

When I was pulling clothes from the closet yesterday to pack, I realized that some of the pants were covered with cat hair in places. Turns out my cat brushes the low-hanging clothing going to her new spot in the closet. She has hung out in the closet for a long time, causing no problem, but now she likes to sit on top of a bin inside the closet, so she brushes the clothing on her way.

I cleaned the pants off, and then I rehung all the others on hangers that support them in the middle instead of the top. So the pants hang doubled over instead of full-length. I have to get more hangers of that type -- I'm using plastic hangers now but need hangers that are less slippery.

Why not just deny the cat? It makes her so happy to hide away in there. I can't do it.

I was so focused on getting ready for my trip, I totally forgot that my grandson had a concert last night. Bad grandma! I got a "where are you?" call just as it was ready to begin. I was already in my pajamas! I was sorry to miss it, but there will be others. No one seems to be upset with me.

So today -- I need to work out, I need to finish packing, I need to pick up the boys after school and watch them for a bit, I need to clean up in general before I leave the house untended for a few days. I will be eating leftovers so I won't have to leave perishables in the fridge. I will take along the rest of the clementines and grape tomatoes for snacking.

I have to be ready when I go to bed, because I have to leave the house at six a.m. Ugh. Not sure what the rush is, since we're driving, but whatever.

I'm sure we'll have a great time!
