i'm doing a terrible, inefficient job of packing, but i did have a great idea: a coping bag! i filled a small zip pouch with ginger candies, a rollerball of my favorite scent, woo-woo anxiety tincture, actual anxiety meds, an emotional support hobi (safe in a toploader), a good pen, my list of PT exercises, vitamins, and fancy lip balm. all stuff that will help me survive a week+ of stress and family dysfunction. i guess this is just normal packing, but having it all in one place feels nice!
