Time Flies . . .

Did you ever start a major project and need to set it aside to go to another project that is more time urgent? That’s where I am. I am flying to Florida tomorrow so the last four days have been geared primarily to preparing to fly. The last packing alert concerning carry-on luggage has changed my usual packing plan, so I have as of last night, starting packing following updated guidelines.

Don’t get me wrong. I still am cleaning out the office but it is with the attitude of being sure everything is in proper order before I leave. I am doing little office things to be consistent with the office project’s lower priority.

I am also getting a head start on change of season wardrobe purging. Because it is hot in Florida, if I am not taking an item of summer clothing on my trip — and I take very little — I am able to either give away summer and early-fall clothing or store summer items away.

When I travel, I do not dress to please. I dress to toss. Most of what I bring never comes home with me so I have suitcase room for new items, like fresh fruit, without adding another suitcase. Since this is a business trip and I am preparing a lady to move into a retirement community, I really only need work clothes with one presentable outfit. That’s my plan.

So the next time I write, it will be from the sunny south. Meanwhile, tell me about your change of season habits and how you go about packing these days. WOW there is always so much to chat about when the topic is de-cluttering and organizing, eh?
