Since I started to clean out the clutter in my apartment, I kept stumbling into the compression bags that I use for travel. Today, I looked for these bags and couldn't find them. AARGH! I knew where things were in the old clutter. But I don't know where things are in the new mess.

Right now, my apartment has a vacant space where a sofa used to be. Things which would normally be near the sofa have been pushed away, so that the new sofa can be put in place. But this gets in the way of me accessing those compression bags. In the game of Jenga, I'm caught between a rock place. No matter what I move, I lose. In the case of my apartment, if I move something, I will lose track of where it is. And I am already upset that I can't find the costume jewelry I had in the bedroom that I moved as part of the electrical work done over a month ago.
Luckily, I sorted much of what I need for travel into two easy to find bags, and much of the stuff I will need for the trip is already in my "Go Bag". But I think I will repack things when I get back from RQS's place, as I know that my backpack should be treated as a personal item. This way, I can stash my pocketbook in the backpack (or in my carry-on) and retrieve it when I land in Chicago (or when I return to New York).

My upcoming trip will be the first one I take with RQS as Marian. This will be a very interesting trip, as the women we're meeting in Chicago only know me as Marian, but know of Mario's existence. Let's hope it all goes well.
