we head out in the morning, what am i forgetting?

there is plenty of food, treats and litter for the fur turds, we have the baggie for our travel-sized toiletries, i picked up snacks, a few shooters and will bring a couple empty water bottles, i refilled my meds, the renter's insurance is current.

i will pack an extra day of clothes, leave a sticky on the bathroom mirror to remember toothbrushes and chargers, i canceled the milk order, we have a bit of cash and i notified the bank we were going out of town.

i think i have my bases covered, but i forgot my glasses once.....

the upstairs neighbor is feeding the cats, i'm sure he won't mind checking the mail.

i was wearing contacts that time, but no longer, so that won't be an issue

I'm in Richmond! PM is you want/need any tips or ideas for things to do, places to go, restaurants if you make near me!

Also, Virginia Beach - Harpoon Larry's - 24th and Pacific (I think - 1 block back from Atlantic) and PJ Shuckers across the street - $2 bloody mary's, mimosa's, etc. every day until 3:00. Shuckers has a good brunch!

dried cherries, peanut butter pretzel bites, granola bars and a candy bar apiece. we'll fill our water bottles after we get through security and there's a few shooters of vodka for when drink service starts up.
