I worked hard yesterday packing and doing house preparations for the trip. I managed to do some physical self-care stuff, too, which will make last minute self-care notably easier. Of course Hubby is behind.Today I want to fill both of our pill boxes for 2 weeks, plus. As for pills, when we go to France, I'll likely need more than that. Unsure how I'll handle. Bringing all pill bottles would seem ridiculous if we fly there. If we end up driving the whole way, I'll just bring the two sacks I regularly keep the bottles in.

From where we live in CZ to the center of France, it is about a 13 hour drive, if driven non-stop. My therapist asked why we weren't just driving to France straight from Munich (where we're keeping our car during our US trip). That would save several hours of driving, if we decide to drive it all. I told him that such a whirlwind trip would be too much for me at my age (with BP). He thought that strange saying I wasn't that old. It turns out, he's only four years younger than me. I believed him to be in his early to mid 30s. In any case, our indecision about where to visit in France is problematic. Fly or drive? If fly and rent a car? Where to?

Today Hubby has his regular eye appointment. Dread! The whole shabang is always at least 2 hours, sometimes up to 3.
