More planning.

Yes, yes, yes, I said no planning this year, but unfortunately the TA needs a little planning, or at least the way I do it, 
 
I started the morning early with a shopping trip based on the list I made yesterday.  Not too many things are on the list, but I still had to drive to 6 different places.  Not bad in the end, finding everything I needed, and a little more, from where I expected.  
 
Back home, I used the “breakaway from my guests” to clean up my home, got the laundry up to date and “worked” a little on this blog thing of mine.  Terribly behind on the blog at the moment with everything going on, but I am not going to say sorry… it is only for me.
 
I spent most the afternoon setting out all my meals for the trip.  Vacuum sealed some biltong, milk powder and getting to the stage where I think I am actually ready for the trail.  There is a lot going on… and many things still need to get done… but come Thursday morning I am leaving it all behind.  Towards the end of the day I think I got a little overwhelmed and soon after “crashed” on the couch in front of the TV for a late afternoon nap.  Woke up and the Haaikie was like a little child, so I decided to break in the new shoes I purchased today and walk to the supermarket before they closed at 10pm  Silenced the Haaikie and will see how my feet are feeling tomorrow…

  1. Some Interesting Meal packs you have there – I might have stated this with the previous “packing” situation also ..
    But what I never asked – is how do they actually taste – do they make the Haaikie Happy? 😉

    Afternoon nap, childish Haaikie – making you walk in new shoes that time of night – LOL – I guess we will here about your feet in the next blog …

    All in all .. quite a busy day for you ‘-)

    • Haha… funny you. “Do they make the Haaikie happy?” What kind of question is that? If it is not cheese on top of cheese, the Haaikie will not approve. So the short answer is NO.
      The Haaikie is actually a “little” out of control at the moment… so the dehydrated meals should be a good thing for all of “us”.
