off to Florida

I'm all packed and ready to go! I haven't tried lifting it yet, but I am sure my suitcase is very heavy. I just have to dry my hair, turn everything off, and take out the trash. All the dishes are already done, even. One good thing about this morning: my flight's at 3:40, so I had planned to take the 11:15 train to make sure I'd have plenty of time. But this morning I checked the airport train schedule, and if I had taken the 11:15 from here, I'd have caught the 12:00 train to the airport, which would have gotten me there at 12:20. Way too early! Now I am catching the 12:15 train, which will put me downtown for the 1:00 airport train, getting me to the airport before 1:30 and in plenty of time for my flight. Yay extra time to get things done before I leave!

Have a good week, everybody!
