THE PRE-VACAY jitters are the worst.
Am I alone in this problem, or does everyone get nerves before they are about to leave town?
I literally kinda freeze up before leaving a trip, cause it’s just so damn overwhelming. The whole thing.
First, the packing. I hate packing!! I always am SO overly concerned I am forgetting something that I have to revert to neurotic spreadsheets & lots of insane double checking. Also, you want to look cute on a trip… so there’s that stress trying to plan outfits & just worrying you’re gonna leave something you will end up NEEDING to wear.
Then, the dogs, oh dear lord…. don’t get me started on the dogs. Bitzy will be fine staying with my Mom, but my mom’s dogs don’t love Ruby so we have to board her & I am losing my shit. The thought of it breaks my heart & makes me wanna cancel our trip (but I won’t….). PAINFUL.
Then the counterproductive to-do lists begin. Basically, to-do lists that are supposed to help you feel less stressed but end up making you want to rip your hair out.
Don’t even get me started on the plane & the trip itself… cause that’s just a whole other mess of frayed nerves.
Any tips guys? I wish I had some more compelling content for you guys, but my mind is on a one track rn planning for this trip we are leaving for & it’s just all I got…. along w/ this super rad off the shoulder bomber dress & my FAVE new flatform sneakers (cause, ya know… it’s a #fashion blog after-all).
Alright, signing off to run to my chiropractor so he can crack the nerves out of me. Fingers crossed.
