And off I go!

And off I go! 

Almost ready to go, I had as usual not a good sleep. I haven't got a clue long I slept but I woke up just before 4:00 am, nice time! Alright, a quick wash up, shoes and coat on and, Au revoir!


"Ready!" I think...

"Ready!"  I think... 

I packed today, and I'm amazed how fast this packing always goes. Makes me feel a bit worried aswell, lol, do I really have everything? Yes, I really do, and I'm not gonna check again, I did that already a few times. Tomorrow morning I will check once again if I have the most important stuff with me, passport, medication, wallet, travel documents, camera's and chargers. All other stuff is already saved and well packed. You know what worries me aswell? Burglars! This week I red it almost on every Dutch news site, "Be more aware of burglars during this fest season." Actually People visit other people, or go on a vacation like me. They lock the door and windows good ofcource. But when a house is dark in the evening for a few days, the burglars are getting suspicious. Or you close your windows or blinds for a few days, idem dito, the burglars get suspicious.I even thought about the few friends I have at Humanitas, they asked me just a bit to often when I was leaving for Paris. Yep, they just might.... 


But anyway, what's the solution? Leave a light on? Blinds or curtains 24 hours a day open? I have thought about leaving a light on, but for five days? I don't know, I don't wanna think while I'm gone for five days that my house might catch fire, so no! I think I will do it just like I always do, leave the blinds and curtains a bit open, and no light on. I heared from a friend that you can buy timers, these are plugs what you can plug in ans set a time when you want for example a lamp on or off. I might buy one of those in the near future, very handy. Though it still worries me these burglars, I hided  already a few expensive things away in my house, just to have that safe feeling, lol. Maybe I'm overreacting, but anyway, safety first. Either, I'm ready for the trip. I thought of everything, just everything. When I'm going I won't have to be worried about anything, even when I'm coming back, everything is ready for the rest of the week.
