Or What do you mean the flight is ten hours?

My trip is a few days away and I'm not even packed. The other day I was busy washing all my clothes with the full intent of packing. My two suitcases were ready and waiting for my clothes, but the only thing that got packed was my cat thinking the open luggage was his new bed. Instead of adding clothes I was vacuuming out the hair that he left behind.

There are a few things I am trying to get done. Some of these things are beneficial to the trip, the other is to my collection. Including paying for some books that were already sent to me and for books to be sent to me. I'm juggling my funds with more difficulty because of the job situation...and that I need a paycheck. I had to take my cat to the Vet, something that he really really hates. This year I don't have anytime to watch him so I will be taking him to a kennel to be watched over and taken care of. Two more added expenses.

This tightly wound budget is about to snap and I feel like I'm on a tightrope that the "Flying Greyson's" used on that fateful day. I know once I officially start this new job and I have an income coming in I'll be more comfortable, but at the moment I'm starting to stress. And speaking of stressing, what am I going to do sitting in a tin can for ten hours. I have two novels that I can read, but is that enough? Fortunately my friend and traveling companion thought of this too.

One of those things to relieve the boredom is what I'm typing this journal on, a mini iPad. I'm trying to set it up to entertain while I'm in the air with a few word apps, but before you start crying foul and pointing out I just bought an iPad mini and already complaining about having no money, I didn't spend anything on it, yet. I have to pay back the person that bought it and I know although I have had numerous difficulties in my life I am blessed with friends, truly great friends.

And for Bagofleas, I'll be looking for those issues for us while I'm I'm in Honolulu for the day.

Thanks for Reading
