whaddoo I pack?? chrono regression

Posted by Medusa on October 12, 2003, at 19:11:44

Okay, here's a purely social (antisocial?) topic that people can reply to without getting too personal. Or not, or whatever. (I'm almost 30, btw. Going on 13, as you'll see in the following.)

I have to leave in a little over ten hours for a flight back to the states, and I haven't packed.

I don't know what clothes to bring - I have suits up the wazoo, and this is a personal trip, not a business trip. I'll have several sessions at the dentist, and other than that, will mostly be hanging out with family. Two of my more casual suits go with heels my family would kid me no end about.

I brought my roller-suitcase out of storage, and ironed my pajamas. (I don't have a dryer, and line-dried is stiff. I'm not that uptight!)

I have passport, tickets, car voucher etc on the table next to my shoulder bag. It's really the clothes that have me stuck.

My parents are really, really invested in me looking good. For years, I dressed in slouchwear whenever I visited them. Then I found that when I dress well, they truly behave better and respect boundaries I set much more easily. I dress differently than they would have dressed me, for sure, but well.

I had my eyebrows done yesterday - my mother has always had profound issues with my eyebrows and hair. And glasses, once I got them. She used to keep a "prayer diary", a list of prayer items for each day of the week, monthly, etc. A few years ago, I found one of these notebooks, from when I was 8 or so. My hair rated twice-a-week intercession to the almighty. My brows don't look "done", but they're neat enough to keep her saliva'd thumb off my face.

I guess what I should pack first is hygiene and eyecare and cosmetic stuff, huh?

It's 2:07 a.m. on The Continent. Do you know what your mother's wearing?
