One of the things I've discovered since moving overseas is an intense need to restock on visits back to the states. Restock what, you might ask? Well, on this trip, I needed some new clothes (since losing weight in Cairo), some books for my literacy coach training, some food items that are not available in Cairo and that I missed last year (flaxseed and wheat germ--homemade dog biscuits to follow!), running shoes, running clothes, and a year's supply of allergy and asthma medication! Also, some lovely bottles of liquid nourishment for the Rehydration Hash and to share with friends...Of course, all this means three bags are returning with me tomorrow. I'm sure at least one is a tad overweight. I'm envisioning a mad repacking in the Lufthansa cue tomorrow as I reshuffle items, remove all the meds from their packagings (I'm sure 36 thin boxes weigh at least a pound), get rid of some of the clothes, and look for other ways to save on weight.
Why can't packages just be shipped to Egypt without being destroyed or stolen in customs? Life would be so much easier then!
Oh, and as cute as the sheep chair is, it is NOT mine and is not returning with me!
