To Do Before Leaving for Europe

the lists I typed up at the beginning of the week, designed to create an organized going-away so that I wouldn't be scrambling before my flight to Europe which departs at 8:15 PM on December 4th. As of the wee hours of 12/4, they stand:

To Pick Up:

• Batteries (two packs)
• Travel toothpaste (Tom's of Maine)
• long underwear (have enough clothes to layer)
• sneakers
• notebook
• new pepper spray (KMart?)
• offerings for the RBC, the Nonna and the Zio (for the latter, New York stuff from Chinatown?)

To Do: (please notice the glaring Have Not Yet Dones in red)

• Buy France 'n Italy Eurorail Pass
• Make hostel reservations
• Listen to more French CDs
• Arrange for Heifer's care (Jean/Frank and Diego)
• Pack
• Wash comforter/laundry
• Clean room
• Pay bills/rent
• Deposit money
• print out e-tickets, hostel confirmation, directions to the RBC's apartment
• Call family members in Italy
• Set aside important documents
• write "out of country" mass e-mail (pecking at it right now)
• remind the L that i'll be away
• Refill prescriptions
• Send "out of country" mass e-mail (in a minute, in a minute....)
• Renew library materials
• Turn in office expense form
• *Decide where the heck to go*
