It worked for Karen Carpenter so maybe it is just the right thing to start the week. It is going to be a bear, to say the least. Lots of things to do for my job before I leave on the Amtrak Coast Starlight on June 30, but never fear, even though I will be on the train for three days as I wind my way toward Minneapolis and a professional 8-day conference. So as I look to the next 10 days it can be exhilirating but it is also daunting. I get to the place where I just stand in the middle of the living room or my office and declare: "I don't want to do this! I don't want to go--it's just too much trouble." Of course, once I am on my way it is great. Getting ready to go anywhere has always seemed more trouble than it's worth.
I always felt that way when my kids were little and about the only vacations we could afford were camping vacations. Ugh!! I didn't enjoy those at all! I had to do the same stuff that I had to do at home but with fewer conveniences, outdoor toilets, cold water only, etc. Not a vacation for me, that's for sure. It was just about the death of me on a couple of occasions. So traveling coach class on the Amtrak and boarding at a motel with a good bed, a TV and a shower just doesn't seem too bad to me these days. I'll hook up with hubby, daughter and granddaughters as the Empire Builder rolls through Minneapolis at the end of my conference and we will be in Chicago for three days. We LOVE Chicago, and it will be a trip down memory lane as we visit old haunts and give our granddaughters the town tour. Hubby and I met and married in Chicago so there are lots of special places for us.
Hope your week is getting a nice start, and let's all breathe a prayer that at the end we will have accomplished some goodly portion of what needed to be done. Blessings . . .

I kept thinking you were leaving later than that. Well, hopefully I'll see you before that but if not, have a good trip.
I remember some of those trips - especially the ones to stumpy meadows - where the heck is that, anyway? lol They were fun - but I like the hotel idea better. :)
