Morning all! Is it possible to feel other's PANIC through ESP??? DD is literally ready to hit maximum meltdown right now, and I SWEAR I am feeling her panic! Her SURF group (the internship she stayed on campus for this summer) presents their project on Friday at URI. She moves out AND we go on family vacation at the Lake on Saturday. She will have to work remotely for the Aquarium and for her other project during that week, but at least she will be there with us most of the week (she does have to go to Boston for one day mid-week). Then we return home Saturday and she leaves for 10 days in Ireland and Scotland to attend the International Marine Congress and present the other project she has been working on. And then, of course, she gets a precious 3 days at home before moving back to school for the fall semester. If I am feeling this.....feeling, I can't imagine how she is feeling!!!
I've been spending a bit of time organizing the stuff she has been sending home a bit at a time since the spring, so that when it IS time to load up the car to go back to school everything isn't in a heap. So hopefully knowing that will help her relax just a bit. And other than her own clothes, she doesn't have to worry about anything for vacation. And HOPEFULLY she has just the clothes she needs for her trip abroad, because there is literally NO TIME to shop if doesn't have it.
She will be ok!!! She is so organized and well prepared. Get her a little pocket calendar so she can write it all out. But don't look to far ahead, just tick things off one at a time.
I'm glad you are getting her things together for school. That should ease her mind.
Tell her I am soooo proud of her!!! She is so focused and dedicated to her field of work, it's wonderful. Tell her too that DS18 misses her greatly! But I will tell him not to text her til school starts, she's got to much on her plate right now.
s o I will stay here and start the packing process! 
Yesterday was a happy weigh in (I usually 'peek' on Wednesdays). It was a good day eating and exercise wise but today the scale isn't happy. Ah well. I said pooey and helped myself to one bite of cookie dough the kids had made last night. So there's my splurge! Now I'm back on track.
. But as tired and sore as I was I still did some exercise and 50min on the bike. My rule is I can only watch my Netflix shows or DVR on the bike or treadmill 
!!
And tomorrow we're eating out at a BBQ place for lunch and sushi for dinner. Ugh all the eating out is killing me but I think I can manage some good choices tomorrow.
Instead, I came back from vacation up *8* 
. I knew a lot of that had to be water/etc from the long red-eye flight home, and I got myself back on track as quickly as possible. By the time I did last Friday's WI, I was still up a lot, but not as bad as when we first got back. And today, I'm down 3.6 from last Friday. So if July ends up being a wash, I can take that.
