He and I went for a two-day meeting in our state capital this week. That necessitated an overnight stay. One overnight. ONE.
I can do an overnight in a gym bag.
By the time we arrived at the hotel and got checked into the room, it required a hotel luggage cart to carry our belongings to the room... Have I mentioned that Master does not travel light? There's the hanging bag and the bag with the C-PAP and the bag for the computer and the bag of snacks and the 12 pack of diet sodas and the giant Franklin planner and the radio that might be needed to pull in the signal for the baseball game... It's a significant cartload of stuff.
As we were leaving the hotel on Saturday morning, heading back to the meeting, with the cart all load
ed up again to take it back to the car, we got on the elevator and were joined by another guest dragging one, small, rolling suitcase. Master commented that he was traveling light, and the fellow replied that he liked to do that. I tried not to giggle.

We went on out to the parking lot and put all our stuff into the car (my new little KIA Rio 5). Master joked that the guy with the little, bitty suitcase probably had a gigantic SUV, and sure enough, just then the guy cruised by in a great big beast of a vehicle. I couldn't resist poking at Himself just a little -- kidding Him that, if He did not have me to schlepp all this stuff, He would pack more conservatively like that other fellow. He replied that, if He did not have me, He would probably pack in a fanny pack. It can be good having a slave!

grins....please tell me you got to keep that luggage cart in your room for the night. It looks like it could have possibilities... lol.
ReplyDeleteM manages to travel light....though he does seem to manage to make one bag fill a whole room when he unpacks!!

m:e--- we did not keep the luggage cart, and I don't think we even thought of it in those terms. These "things" are so intense and exhausting that, while He always takes toys, we almost never actually play while we are away at one of these political things... We usually just work ourselves to death and sleep in the between minutes if we can...

we've had some unexpected free time recently and its made me very playful....my earlier comment may have sounded a little 'flippant'.
ReplyDeleteYou three always sound so busy, I wonder where you find the energy to fit it all in.

Dear m:e -- not "flippant" at all. Just remarkably "creative." Life feels busy to us too, and sometimes just hectic. We fit IT in when we can because it is important. All of the rest of it seems important too, and we just try not to think too much about how tired we all are most of the time.
