Search for shoes and packing

I dropped Potter off at the pet hotel this morning.

He will be there for 7 days!
He was quite apprehensive to go.
But I produced a bone out of my bag and he seemed to relax a bit as the pet hotel helper carried him back to his suite.

They also have a talking bird in the pet hotel office.
His name is Dolby and he talks to himself.

Anyways,
So it was my goal to pack for my trip in a carry-on suit case.
And I did it, with room to spare!

I also found my Chacos.


I thought maybe the Chacos were at the top of my guest closet
Nope
Then I checked the bottom but All I found was an old Wallaby shoe

(and that greenish color around the closet is not dirt or mold but rather spray paint from the previous tenant. I am not that dirty)

I found some Tory Burch's on my dresser.

And where were my Chacos
Oh just in the corner of my closet. Super lost right?

once the Chacos were found packing could commence.
The goal:
to fit everything in here:

First Item, packed.

I quickly realized that finishing packing up would not be happening until I took care of this:
Do any of you all have piles of clothes and other random things around your house?
I have them everywhere.
So I made it my goal to clean up ALL the piles (One in the kitchen, one in my bedroom, one in the bathroom and the guest bedroom) before packing any clothes.

It took awhile.

But getting the piles put away helped.

Progress was slowly made.
I weighed, not literally, everything that went into that carry on.
And finally I finished with room to spare.

Wasn't this the most exciting post?
Right.
Well I will be back 'live' next week.
I do have some posts scheduled while I'm out so check back.

Peace,
