pack your life in a suitcase (or two)

so the packing begins. mom has been a great help so far mapping out the essentials, making a medical kit and remembering the basics (like scissors.. you always need scissors but never have them on hand.)  I am so fortunate to have "extras" of things that mom said I can take and just leave/throw out on my way home (plastic ware for the kitchen..) and Tess is going to come over and help me roll & stuff it all into my suitcase when the time comes. 7 days until departure! 

cheers, jkro

haven't gotten all that far just yet
