Place: Gulfport, FL 45/66 > Centreville, VA 28/41
Main activity: Sat - final packing, cleaning, storage, travel
Notes: Woke around 5a but didn't get up until ~6a. Started in on all the final packing, cleaning, eating, throwing out, made a last big batch of choc whipped cream. Always feels like SO much ... heard from Ellen then and she arrived just before 9a, we loaded the last big under-bed bin, a box I'd packed up to ship, shower caddy and a brown bag full of stuff and then my big TV onto her wagon and into her Jeep - she drove me to storage, we stopped at USPS on 22nd Ave S on the way and I got my box in the mail. Stuff went in to storage pretty quick and easy. She came back then and I gave her the things she loaned me and a couple freezer things to keep for me and some of my cream and yogurt remain to finish. She sat and chatted for a bit. I took a quick shower and then threw clothes, sheets and towels thru the laundry. Boiled 5 eggs (1 duck) and ate 2. Also had the rest of the carnivore wrap to eat w/ a plateful of roasted chicken, some pork rinds, a big bowl of yogurt and then all the whipped cream! Kept going then w/ all the cleaning & packing - big suitcase very full and quite heavy (weighed many times) and the small one jam-packed and hard to close! Finally by 1230p, had everything pretty much done except getting the bed made back up as Spatz was sleeping where my head goes and kept laying there even as I'd try to put sheets on! Relaxed some w/ the last of my beautiful water view until it was time to head to the airport. Got there and parked ok, took pics for Susan to find her car. Got my bags checked and easy thru security in only a few min. Still had plenty of time - went to wrong gate and feeling very out of it, had headache coming on. Flight less than half full tho - got row 2 w/ no middle person! Beautiful evening/night skies and took lots of pics. Landed early at Reagan and the whole Terminal A was completely empty - not a soul in sight, was so bizarre! Michelle waiting and had to wait for bags, which seemed to take forever. Light traffic tho and easy trip back. Headache hung on and got a lot stronger as I went to bed.
