LAST MINUTE SHOPPING

After months of waiting for this, it seems to have rushed up and jumped out at me anyway. I have piles of "stuff " to consider taking collected on the kitchen floor, clothes drip drying after being dipped in mosquito repellant hanging on racks, work shoes I have not broken in, and last minute scavenger items to find as suggested by the Habitat people.    As if I have any time left to shop ( get back in town late Friday and my flight is 6AM Saturday) ,they would now like us to also provide some screwdrivers, a large hammer, and leave room  for the  hard hat, tool kit, and other items they will give us in Atlanta. (I have my own levels, plumb lines, and DIY cinder block construction book.)     If I had any spare time to think about it, I would be excited, but I am sleep deprived, working a 36 hour shift at present, and currently traveling with 2 cats in the car when I go back to New Orleans.
