Getting Things Done

So I got a lot accomplished yesterday, especially with the help of my aunt (thanks). I have ordered my luggage, which is a rolling duffel bag that can convert into a backpack. I may get another smaller piece, but I am going to see how this works out first. I also ordered a pair of durable, waterproof sandals and a pair of keen slip-on dress shoes. I think I have come up with a pretty good packing list. One good about working in schools so much is having a good amount of school appropriate clothes. I'm sure I will think of some more stuff, but for now less is more. If anyone can think of anything else that is absolutely essential for me to have please leave a comment.

  1. Just an idea, I would recommend a leatherman. Heather says that she also is trying to cut down on her clothes amount. It's tricky.

  2. Not to sound really out of the loop, but what's a leatherman?
