getting ready for war

[ravnsdaughter]

I'm stressed out, so I'm making lists.


Things to do before AT War:
Clean up spilled glass
Clean the kitchen
Cut out red apron dress and sew the long seams together with the machine (can hem in the van on Friday)
Cut out blue apron dress and sew the long seams together with the machine
Put together skeins of silk or something for indigo dyeing class
Cut out Jorvik cap and machine-sew it.
Cut out haversack and machine-sew it, if there's time. Screw the garb. Every time I rush it, I make a mess. I have enough to get by, and I'll make new stuff after I get back.
Put together sewing stuff so I can sew in the van on the way to the event.
Clear off the camera memory card and charge the camera battery.
If there's any time left, clean more of the house before I go.
Put together an embroidery project to take with me.

I am glad I am not the only person who finds making lists helps relieve stress. The only time I use google tasks is when I need to do this (that way I can easily delete or cross off things as I have completed them!)

I'm a total listmaker. I don't save it for when I'm stressed - I make lists all the time, mostly on paper so I can take them shopping with me, but I did this one online just for the heck of it. It helps me put into perspective just how much I have to do, and figure out if it's feasible or not, rather than just trying to work it out in my head.

Bring chargers for CPAP and other electrical devices. Likely you can recharge items at the Chiurgeon's tent. Don't forget to bring medication/prescriptions if you have any and woman's stuff in case your period comes calling. Also a cooler with snacks in it... try Freezing some bottles of water too before you go and pack those in the cooler. A big block of ice melts slower. Plus any food you are bringing that you can freeze, do so. You might want a cloak too if you have one. Even if you only need it on top of your bedding at night if it's chilly.

Have fun!
