Here we are folks, in the home stretch! Less than 24 hours and I will be on the road to NE for the first leg of our trip. In 8 hours I will be getting my hair done. I just got word our finance guy has been in the hospital for a week so I didn't get my expense check for April. He is going to process April and May while I am on the road and I will be getting two checks at once. Thank god. I have to pay bills this morning and that will give me a much needed buffer. I now can take this trip without as much worry we're coming home to being broke. 

I spent the first half of yesterday mentoring one of our best clients. I really do like them. They are organized, take all this seriously, have a solid team with good leadership, and have a desire to succeed. I would literally work for this organization. Too bad they're in WI. Got have some flaw, right? After that I did a webinar. This turned out to be my biggest webinar ever with over 200 people showing up and staying on the whole time. We got 2 follow up meetings less than 30 minutes after it ended. That's a great response. That might not seem like much, but a 1-2% return on these kinds of things is considered a win. I was so pumped when it was over. 

After, we went to Target. I decided to get a large 30" suitcase for this trip. I am used to using 21" carry on bags when I travel but in this scenario, we're driving and there's no reason for a small bag. I found one on sale for $60. Got home, repacked everything, and reduced down by three bags. Went from two 21" and a backpack to the one big bag. Success. 

We got Lebanese food for dinner which gave us enough leftovers for lunch and dinner tonight. Also a score. C then started to finalize her packing. There was some stressing for a while when we couldn't find certain things, but we got there in the end. We are both down to just needing to pack the stuff we use Saturday morning. We will be on the road between 3 and 4am tomorrow. Okay, time to pay bills, wash the truck, get some last minute store stuff, and bounce off the walls.
