One Step Forward, Two Steps Back…

I’m leaving for Dallas today.  The plan was for me to head home right after work and we were going to load up the truck and take off.  We’re taking the dogs with us (the hotel allows pets for $10 a night), so Joe’s aunt won’t have to watch them — much to the dismay of her kids.  The problem is that I forgot to pack bags last night, do the laundry, buy the mega-pellets for the fish tanks, buy the dog food, deposit my birthday checks, or put the trash out for pick up.

I suppose I can go shopping for the dog food and fish pellets while I’m at lunch, as well as go to the bank.  The clothes I’m wearing for my interview are clean, but the rest Joe will have to take to a laundry room at the hotel or somewhere nearby.  And I guess we can dump our trash in the dumpster bins by the restaurant at the end of our neighborhood.

It’s going to be a long trip, but I plan on sleeping the entire way.  It’s great having a personal chauffeur.  I recommend everyone get one.
