We are getting ready to fly down and visit with Tess in Austin.  It will be my second commercial flight ever and I am looking forward to it like a kid anticipating a ride on a new crazy roller coaster.

Trying to get everything ready for the trip.  We have been trying out Nutrisystem since the first week of January.  I’ve lost 5 pounds and Richard has lost zip!  He needs a different diet, but I’m happy with this one.

Anyway, I tried to coordinate the delivery of our next month’s food with our trip departure date.  Called Nutrisystem and told them to move our delivery date back from the 3rd to the first of February.  Did they comply?  Well, on paper they did, but it was February 5 late afternoon when I called them and they told me his had shipped on the 5th and mine was still in the service center.  Hopefully his will come today, but as soon as I got off the phone, I got an email telling me that mine had also shipped.  There’s no delivery on the weekend (they use FedEx).  Now I’m worried about this food coming at a very bad time… worse case it will sit on our doorstep for a week or even worse get stolen.  The food is all very well packaged and would easily survive sitting that way (even if it rained).  The boxes are big and heavy and I hate to ask a neighbor to take them in.  Nutrisystem tells me they can have FedEx hold the boxes for us… we shall see how this plays out.

Got our ticket confirmations, room confirmations, and reserved a rental car.  Need to torn off the newspaper and put a hold on our mail.  What’s left to do, but check the water’s not left running in the house?  I’m ready to get outta here!
