Baggage

 People asked me what I would take with me on this "move" to Phoenix.  Clothes--both long- and short-sleeved shirts, jeans and shorts, sandals, walking shoes, sweater, sweatshirt (not yet worn), pj's, robe, slippers, undies and socks for about a week.  I have a full set of toiletries that I just leave here, making my flights much simpler.  Supplies of calcium tablets and Tylenol also came.  When I return here after being in Alameda, I've been wearing the same pants but a different shirt.  I brought my knitting (I'm making a pair of socks), fabric scraps to begin a quilt, choir music to practice, my French horn mouthpiece and some music to use with E's horn (not used yet), and my iPad for email, Words with Friends, and such.  I have crossword puzzles and sudoku, my Bible, and a notebook to journal in.  With my Alameda Free Library card I am able to check out e-books, and E has a nice collection of books I haven't read.  In my room is a TV with access to Netflix streaming for TV and movies.  If I need anything, there's a Target a couple of blocks away, as well as a CVS.

So far I haven't missed having anything.  While it might be a nuisance to bring additional big items from home, small things are easy to fit in the messenger bag I travel with, which has numerous pockets.

  1. Wow, flying without a suitcase, bet that's nice. And I imagine sitting quietly with a sleeping baby in your arms is nice, too. Will you bring some pictures with you on Sunday?
