Packing ... or not

Today and tomorrow were packing days. So far, I've set out shoes, stockings, two handbags, one shawl, chosen earrings and pins, and strewn a bunch of stuff all over the bedroom. The day just went out of control. I got my hair cut and colored, and then Mom came over to help, and Cooper was here ... then Ashley and Jackson arrived, then Dad came and we went to Ashley's house for spaghetti. After everyone departed, I was so weepy at the idea of leaving Cooper that I spent two hours printing pictures of Bill and me to put in a photo booklet so he won't forget us. Now it's 11:40 and I'm too tired to pack. Sigh.
