Be the change you want to see.

Gonna go visit family and a few friends this week in Sacramento.
All summer for whatever reason my anxiety flared hard whenever I thought about going to Sacramento in the heat, and I couldn't make myself go.

But it's November and should be nice, temperate.
Birthday month for me, my sister, my niece. I was last up in May, and that was the first visit in like 20 months because pandemic!

I'm feeling decently balanced, emotionally, right now, and like I'll be fine without my emotional support husband. :)

(I do think that I'm going to pack my own pillow from home to sleep at mom's because her house always has Unexpected Dust and my allergies kick my ass for a long time.

Packing list:
* The usual clothes and toiletries (ALLERGY and regular MEDS)
* At least 3 fabric masks
* Charger collection for phone, laptop and hearing aids
* Laptop/sketchbook bag, daily planner/address book
* PILLOW
* Mom's stuff that I meant to mail to her and never did
* Birthday present for my niece
* Some fresh figs off our tree to eat at mom's.

Altogether I feel like I'm traveling pretty light
