T minus 3= The Printer, The Baker, The Button Maker

Monday, April 28:  With three days to go, the push is on to finish 'the list.'  That said, Monday was my last day of pre-company errand running,  task doing, and general pick up, as my dad, Mike arrived in the evening.  So the day was filled with a host of trip prep activities:

• The day started with a flurry of UPS deliveries:  sun protective clothes donated from Coolibar (all of  them fit,yeah!) and a giant box of sunscreen from Blue Lizard that had been a bit abused in route resulting in a significant cleaning project.
• A mad round of housecleaning that was intended to fall in the hands of the new housecleaner however, it was discovered mid afternoon that she wasn't coming after all---eee gads, fast vacuuming followed.
• Summer camp registering, bill paying, 200+ emails and some actual work-work were squeezed in.
• Errands began with a special trip to the one place that has my favorite energy bars - Key Lime LARABAR. Great walking energy food; just raw nuts and fruits.
• A last sundry and first aid run.
• A couple more pairs of socks from the running store as I keep being cautioned to make sure my feet are dry so blisters stay at bay.
  
• Then a printer visit to proof thank you  notes and wallet-size sun safety cards so pass out along the way.
• A visit to the button maker to pick  up the last of 160 name buttons for the school sun hat program-hats go out to the kids tomorrow
• And at last, a stop at the baker to procure a cookie delivery for my kind friends at Influence Internet that had been working so hard to make our web site happen.  

My dad arrived, as advertised, on time.  We managed to snap him up mid errand and kid activity shuffle just as planned.  Then off for a quick evening walk and leg loosen followed by a tasty fish taco feed and the cold beer that motivated me a good part of the day.  Tomorrow, T minus 2, is logistics and packing day.
