the nonstop complaints before travelling : October 28 2024

here i am again at an impending out of the country trip.
have not packed anything yet, all of that will have to happen today.

i was planning to do so earlier, if my work load has enough time for waiting, i might even use those for packing.
all of that was wishful thinking, today had an unusual surge of investigations.
it would have been fine if these were just short and easy ones, but no, task today required so much thinking time.
and left me no room to pack at all.

i got to the packing after work, finally had the time and courage to this all over again.
it is but a 5 day trip, but how come my large luggage is now filled up?
this needs some curation, leave the unwanted.
packing for a cold place gets bulky so fast, coats and jackets and even sweaters are bulky.
stress has got to me now, i needed some time to get away from all the packing for a bit.

there goes my cue for going to the gym, another cardio day.
that was enough to pump up my blood and get the system up and running again.
gym time helps a lot, i wonder how i'll do during the travel when i can't go to the gym?
oh well, travelling is a long cardio workout after all.

got back home and continued the packing, that would probably do for the day.
i still have tomorrow for last minute additions; skin care will also be packed on the last day.
if only there is a way to travel without packing anything?
ooops...
there is, but that involves a lot of money.

i ended my day with an ice cold "non-alcoholic" beer.
lame i know, but i just can't afford to get sick and feel sick the entire trip.
