Adelaide day! I'm dishevelled, disorganised, and discombobulated. Flights out at 12, gotta be at the old 'port by 10:30. Lift arranged for 9:30, but I don't actually have a travel bag, so my clothes are gonna be packed in Coles' bags until we pick up the worker who's coming with me who said I can borrow a bag. I haven't packed anything yet.

Despite not having packed yet, I have been busy all day cleaning. I decided I'd clean up my room so that when I get back I've got a nice clean room to crash into, and I also decided to wash my bedding and wardrobe things. So lots of washing, and lots of cleaning. Also decided to clean my toilet and bathroom because hey! That's more important than making sure I actually have stuff to wear, right??? πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™‚οΈπŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™‚οΈπŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™‚οΈ. My bedding still isn't dry, still got half an hour to go at least.

Oh it's also been brought to my attention that the gronky security people would probably put most of my things in the bin, because my deodorant, mouthwash, etc, are all "too big". So I'll need to buy some in Adelaide

I'm a nervous traveller, in case you can't tell.....

They don't care about liquid container size for domestic flights AFAIK. Hope you wake up refreshed and have a seamless flight!

Oh. Hopefully. Thanks J_K, total sleep time was about 4 hours, so I'll be running on fumes but I should be right

Finally going to sleep. It's 2:30 now, and 2 things could happen:

  1. I fall asleep instantly 2: I'm up for another hour trying to sleep

Wish me luck sleeping lemmings

It's gonna be great and you'll be ok. Welcome to the big family of people that start random chores instead of packing then panic pack at midnight (I'm much older then you and still do it like this). Your future self will thank you for the clean room!

Have a ball - you'll be awesome

Nope you've gone too obscure, yo no comprendo tu referencia

You can get mini bottles to decant most toiletries into from your local $2 shop. Won’t help with deodorant if you use spray, but most other things should work.

Not going to have time for $2 shops before I go unfortunately, but once I get to Adelaide I'll try to figure it all out
