The big trip is finally here. Leaving in a couple of days. Leo is excited and anxious and nervous, I can tell. When we had breakfast at Eddy’s, he got unusually adamant about only using the tram and no, absolutely not, we are not taking the Taxis at all in Helsinki. I didn’t get argumentative about it but it did worry me a bit. What if I am exhausted and want to take a Taxi back to the hotel? Last time we went to Taiwan and we took the bus to Taipei 101 from our hotel, it was such an ordeal physically for me, I don’t think I want to go through that again. I have no confidence in my endurance after the stent any more. But we will see. Maybe I will be able to handle it this time. If not, I will do what I have to do.
Benny got a haircut today. He is still making noise when he breathes, sometimes better sometimes worse. The doctor never found out what the problem is. Maybe we need to see a different doctor next time when we get back.
Got DIYFISH personal LM 2.1 life mapping system and printed and cut the pages for my daytimer. They fit just fine. And the hole punch I bought for the Filofax works great. Saved lots of time with it today. I now have the calendar and paper to jot down the places we go and tidbits of information along the way.
Since I had the conflict with the studio’s receptionist, I have been in a funky mood. Not able to get out of it. When I stay home, I get really tired and stayed in the bedroom all day. No motivation to do anything. So I went out after breakfast by myself and did a bit of shopping. Hobby Lobby, Dollar Store, Office Max, Kohl. My mind wasn’t dwelling on the negatives that way and I actually was in a creative mood. Wonder if working out does the same thing to your brain.
Cant decide whether to take the backpack or the wheeled one. I never liked to use the backpack because of the weight. Even though it is much easier to get around, I’m afraid my back will not be happy. Still can’t decide yet. Tomorrow, we will get it together, tomorrow.
