I find it much easier to pack now that I no longer care much how I look. Two pair pants, one skirt, one dress just in case, 3 or 4 Ts, a sweater. Oh, and pjs. Have only the one bathing suit, so no decision there.
I can beat up demons until the cows come home, and then I can beat up the cows.

Phone must still be in the car. I've felt vaguely crappy all day and the crappy makes me forgetful

Oh, so sorry about the crappy. Hey, you up for dinner still?

probably not. I'm skipping dinner due to the crappy. I'm so sorry (just got your message)... I am at home already.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The simplest possible solution to clothes-packing is: nothing. The resort's nude area was voted best in the Caribbean a few years back.
So not my style. I think if you intend to eat there (and why not--it's all paid for) you need to either be nekkid in the nekkid section, or appropriately dressed for the other restaurants.
I have no idea if they do room service.
I adore swimsuits, so have a bunch. I'll take the Speedo one piece, the retro olive and black two piece, and the purple chest enhancing (I know? WTF for?) with the boyshorts.
Also a question of whether or not I'll exercise, which requires a completely separate change of clothes, if not two.
See how complex that all is? Oh, my life.
eta: Sorry to hear about the crappy, Kat.

No problemo, let's try next week, hopefully you'll be feeling better. My kids are being brats so wouldn't have been the best night to go out anyhoo. Like just now while I was typing Franny decided to STOP being a brat and made herself a bed on the floor of the den. Cute, right? Then Isaac came running in the room and bonked her on the head with a wooden block for NO REASON. And then both broke out in tears!

Oy. Next couple of days are going to be tough.
Wednesday: Call at 6:30 to 8. Meetings 8:30 to 3:30 (with a conference call squeezed in during lunch). 5:30 flight to NJ. Get to hotel at 10.
Thursday: Meetings in NJ 7:30 to 11:30. 2:30 flight back to Chicago. 6 PM work event. Then meetings again 8:30 to 12:30 on Fri.
Then in theory I get to take the rest of the day off, but since I just got landed with a big project due next Friday (in addition to the one already due next Thursday), that ain't likely gonna happen.

I wish I could hear it at work. Seeing all of those images-their sameness-is a little grotesque to me. All of those different, yet exactly alike, fix-your-obvious-aesthetic-problem with this pill talking heads creeped me right out.

Well, hmm. I do think the issue is real, but I also think that addressing it requires more than just talking to your daughter.
