I should make a list of my lists

I have mentioned that I am a planner.  It's so very true.  I try to be prepared for almost anything.  When I pack a bag for a trip, I am methodical.  I think of toiletries from the top down- meaning I literally start at the top of my body (shampoo, conditioner) and work my way down (q-tips, then toothbrush/toothpaste, then deodorant).  Sounds neurotic, I suppose, but it works.  I check the weather in the place I am headed to see if I should pack for warm or cold.  I try to predict if I will need an umbrella. 

I also make a lot of lists.  I am working through a list of things I should accomplish by Sunday.  I may have to mow the grass again.  I have to wash up and pack all the things I intend to wear.  I need to tidy up the house a bit, and I need to write down the details about the bills I need to pay.  I get paid once a month, and this month, that day falls during some travel, so I need a list of the amounts I should electronically send on that day.  That's right, I have on my list that I should write a list.  That's so freaking me it almost isn't funny.  Okay, it's a little funny.

This is just a four day trip.  When I go later this month for over a week, I am sure the list-making will reach a fever pitch.  I will also probably need to walk through my house a few times before I go to make sure all the doors and windows are locked, the thermostat is turned up and the oven isn't on for some reason.  In fact, maybe I should make a list of things to check before I go.
