It is officially 28 days until I leave! My trip is starting to take shape. I will fly into Germany, go to Italy, visit Netherlands, back to Germany (?), then back to Italy to visit Rome with my mom to end my trip.

I am starting to hit a wall with my cleaning goals. I am now back behind in laundry. Now with end-of-the-year activities, the papers are overflowing. Thought, I have done a really good job of laying off the soda 🙂 I am not 100%. I suffer from migraines, and since I don’t drink coffee, the caffeine is nice during an attack.

My goals for this week is to get re-caught up with laundry, finish organizing all the papers, and organize closets. The good thing about not having a house: No basement or garage to organize 🙂 We also only have one non-bedroom closet, which is good and bad. I jumped on the Marie Kondo “Spark Joy” bandwagon last year when we were moving from our house to the 2 bedroom apartment. So, in reality, we don’t own much…which is why picking up shouldn’t be such an issue…

Goals by week:

Week 3: Kitchen – refrigerator clean out & cabinets organized
Week 2: Bathrooms – clean out & organized
Week 1: PACK! I am taking my camera, a few lenses, and clothes for 3 weeks…all in the least amount of bags possible…with traveling around, I don’t want to lose anything or lug it around.
