all the things you can do instead of pack

I’ll be packing all day.

I should have come home after church yesterday and packed, but instead I made bread and mango and apple hand pies, forgetting, then, to take them out of the oven and nonchalantly skipping out to Wegmans for baby food, Matt’s power bars, and tea. I then spent a whole hour at Wegmans desperately trying to call Matt who refused to pick up the phone (because it wasn’t ringing). I called Greg accidentally and asked him to email Matt. And finally I called Matt’s mom who sensibly called the neighbor who came running across to get the bread out of the oven. All these people were supposed to tell Matt to Call Me to explain what kind of power bars he required, But for some inexplicable reason, he decided not to call. So I stood agonizingly in the power bar aisle for 35 minutes reading the back of every kind of bar.

So, I’ll be packing all day.
