Biggie air kisses

[susandennis]

Biggie has this fun trick where he will lift up his snout to my lips - not touch but wait for me to make a kissing sound before he lowers it. Air kisses. He's nestled in my lap right now and he just did it. It's just freakin' adorable.

As I predicted, I'm now waiting to go to the airport. I have a personal problem with Too Early Itis. It's like the opposite of procrastination. I'm always too early for everything. I try not to be and never make it. Google says his plane will land at 10:30. This means it will be 10:45ish before he's at the curb. (We are a carry on only family*.) Regular traffic, I'm maybe 20 minutes from the airport. They have a very handy cellphone lot so I'll go cool my jets there but really no need to leave the house much before 10. It's now 8:30.

*Our parents were very efficient packers as well. Our Dad traveled constantly for business. My childhood was spent watching him pack and learning how to do it right. My brother used to check stuff but gave that up about a decade ago. I can (and have) packed for two weeks or more in a case that will fit under an airplane seat.

However, we have a sister. Who needs a u-haul to go on an overnight sleepover. This, as in most everything else she does, throws off our family average. (I haven't been in contact with her for a couple of decades but it's highly doubtful she's changed one bit.)

I ordered new masks yesterday. I've been watching for fire sales and found one and cashed in. I'm guessing we'll need them again. BUT also, most every August/September we get really horrible air from forest fires so if I'm wrong about viruses, I'll be ready for fires and if I'm also wrong about fires then I just blew $10 and I'm not at all mad about it.

Around here, the majority of people are still wearing them. And, of course, I still need them for the bus.

Ok Biggie just got up so that's my clue to get into the shower and get dressed and try not to leave for the airport yet.

That's so cute with air kisses!! I started that with my chihuahua mix dog [who's no longer with us now]. I could never get my other doxie/lab mix to do it until the other dog passed. Now it's our nightly routine.

I tend to be early as well.

lol I cannot pack light. And yet it never fails I always seem to forget something!

Sad to hear you're not close with your sister :(

Cute masks! I'm surprised people where you live are still wearing them. Even when they were mandated where I live, people politicized it & would harass those who did wear them. It made things scary because those people were very aggressive.

I'm a "too early" person, too. Comes from having missed a flight or two in my time. Never again! It's "too early" or nothing.

I like those masks.

I marvel at light packers. Sadly, I lean toward needing a U-haul. I'm especially bad if I don't have easy access to a washing machine / dryer (like in Maine - it's 35 miles!). And, my computer / DSLR camera always is lugged along. I guess you learn there's nothing wrong in washing undies in the sink and avoiding wine spillage on your shirt! Poor Ray has to carry his CPAP machine! At least he has one that's travel size.

I LOVE those colorful masks. They look both effective and stylish.

I’m a chronically too early person as well! And a very light packer, if using public transport to travel. Except if we’re taking the car, then it ends up being the proverbial everything-but-the-kitchen-sink (particularly since we had the kiddo—but somehow I can still pack light for him if we’re taking public transport!) XD

YAY for Biggie cuteness! :)

Fun masks! Masks are optional here now, but I am still wearing them. I don't plan to stop.

I am on on time person. My husband is a too early person. Or at least used to be. The first time we flew after we were married, we were at the airport 4 hours early. And our luggage went on an earlier flight than we did so we almost missed our connection trying to find our luggage, lol. He chilled a bit after that . . . ;)

Have fun with Bill! :)

I find the air kisses inexpressibly charming, and your "two weeks under your seat" packing inexpressibly mind-boggling.

Love the masks. I’m looking to get some extras as well. Please Let us know what you think of the quality.
Me? Ha! I can’t be early to anything to save my life. On time maybe….but…..
I need at least one checked bag when I travel. It’s a pain but necessary.

Early is on time and on time is late.

[howeird]

Is light rail not an option?

[dandylover1]

haha May I borrow a bit of your earlyitis? I'll give you some of my procrastination in return. Truly, it's no big deal, as I will have a lot left. *smile* I couldn't imagine packing that light for anything but an overnight trip.

[kaishin108]

I am like that too with 'Too Early Itis'. I get weird about it, hah.

[taz_39]

I have Too Early Itis as well!
"On time" is the same thing as "late" to me.

When flying I have GOT to be past security at bare minimum an hour before my flight boards, any later and I'm freaking out lol
