I spent a long time this afternoon doing self-care (or rather "beautification) to prepare for the trip. Both Hubby and I have been looking pretty shabby. It's amazing how much there is to do, in this regard, though I know it takes much longer when you let things go too long. I'm glad I got my hair cut and colored recently. I cleaned up my own eyebrows, though I'm not nearly as good at that as professionals. I haven't had that done in a salon for almost a year. Yesterday I bought myself mascara. I almost never wear that, unless I'm going out somewhere formal. When I moved, I threw away the one I had that was already old. I did have a face powder, blush, and lipsticks. I am even packing some nice jewelry, which is something I also rarely wear. I know this all sounds a little superficial, but I think it's good that we'll be dressing up a bit.

I haven't been snacking much at night, these last few days. The scale reading back then scared me a bit. We bought tons of snacks for the road. I need to watch it.
