Tonight is the last night I’ll spend in Uppsala until near the end of August and I’ve been busying myself trying to make sure to pack up everything that I’ll want to have with me at home during that stretch and stuff it into my suitcase. My home wardrobe and my Uppsala wardrobe are entirely different–at home I mostly wear yoga pants and t-shirts due to grubby kid hands and the unreal amount of pet hair, while at work I usually wear dresses–so there isn’t much overlap clothes-wise, but I do need to take some things home to wash. There are also some shoes that I do wear in both places, as well books and papers, of course, and some odds and ends that I’ve picked up over the course of the past months that I don’t want to be without for two-and-a-half months.

I will be back in town briefly next Monday so it would be possible for me to pick up anything that I didn’t manage to cram into my luggage. I don’t want to weigh myself down too much, though, and it would be nice not to have to come by the apartment at all that day. I expect I’ll have to do it anyway, though, as I just now remembered that I my towels are among the things that need to be washed, and I don’t think I’ve got room to pack them this time. Besides, they’ll be wet after I use them tomorrow morning and I’d rather not pack them in that condition. Ah, well … if I do stop by to get them on Monday I’ll at least be able to do a last quick check for forgotten necessities.
