I can't even count the number of times we've done the pack/unpack/repack thing, it's getting old. In the long run it's probably easier if I don't see it in person, though. Seeing my long lost treasures on a bare list takes away some of the appeal and I'm able to look at it with a more practical eye. I think Doug is doing his best to humor me, though. Sure hope he found my missing Tolkien poster!!!

Thank you for that suggestion for the back, I will try that. That stretching exercise does sound like it would really feel good. I've had good relief today from a microwaveable hot pack in a brace that stays right where I want it even when I walk around.

Warm bath -- good idea! But Harry can stay outside in the hall. ;-)
