I take those little victories where I can get them

And tonight that victory is the fact that I packed everything I'll need for three weeks (includin everything for a week-long church camp -- dress clothes, flute, song books -- and a trip to my grandparents' farm, comps reading books, and a wedding present), and yet managed to keep my suitcases well under the weight limit. And the weight limit's lower than I usually have, because I'm flying via Air Canada in the cheapest class possible on the way there (they have a 50lb limit, while WestJet allows for 60).

You have no idea what a triumph this is for me. I'm a classic obsessive-compulsive over-packer. Usually, I'm just balancing under the WestJet weight limit, and I've put things into Christopher's bag because he packs less than I do. This time, I even managed to still bring an extra pair of glasses (I always pack my back-up pair because I'm paranoid like that) and still my bags aren't over-full.

(Note to my sister: please bring your hairdryer! I didn't pack mine.)

And the next time you'll hear from me, I'll be in Saskatchewan! I just hope I didn't forget anything major.

What is wrong with people? They don't write, they don't call! The send messages to loved ones through blogs and facebook.

I was going to phone you from Mom and Dad's house, but I was worried that I'd forget and so I also noted it there.
