Pre-vacation jitters

[schneefink]

As before every vacation I'm already full of anxiety a few days before I leave, flip-flopping between "I have more than enough time for everything" and "there's so much!!!" I don't know why traveling makes me so nervous, especially since I'm going to a country not too far away where I speak the language. But it's just so big in my brain there's little space for much else. It's usually fine once I'm there, thankfully.

Oops, I just remembered I have to ask one of my neighbors to water my herbs while I'm gone. The chives died already but the rest is still - well not all of them are looking good but they're alive.

I went swimming again today, and the previous weekends as well, I'm pleased that I managed to keep that up. Especially because I haven't used my bike in weeks. In my defense, it's been really hot and humid often. I still have noodle arms though.

*hugs* safe travels, and enjoy WorldCon!

My dad is the kind of person who's always very organized, a great packer, leaves plenty of time for things, and my mom is the total opposite. I'm a combination of both so I can relate to the flip-flopping. Like I will leave lots of time to get to the train station and then realize once I get there that I didn't bring underwear.

Thank you :)
I had a plan today and it included going for a walk to clear my head and then I got into heavy rain and ended up absolutely soaked and that really threw me off. Now I just need to start actually putting things into my luggage... soon...

Travelling is stressful. I hope you have an amazing time!

Do say hi if you end up with spare time in London

Sadly no stop in London this time: one week in Glasgow and then some travelling around Scotland with my brother (Edinburgh, West Highland Railway, Inverness, Aberdeen), and that's as far as my vacation days go. Some other time hopefully :)
