Prepping can get dicey for me.  I vacillate between laissez faire and perfectionism.  I hadn't really done much prepping prior to today, and that is a good example of the laissez faire part of me, as I kept procrastinating and thinking I'll be able to handle what comes.  An example of the perfectionism reared its head when I went out to get some new clothes; I hadn't bought much in the way of new clothes in a while, and a lot of my pants don't fit anymore because I've lost about 20 lbs.  So, I set out to the mall(s), and per usual in my shopping expeditions, I found the general selection of clothes for men limited, and lacking much in the way of style.  This led to some frustration, exemplified by my text mid-shopping to my friend, saying "Shopping around here makes me want to stick my head in a wood chipper".  I also ended up going home and eating some of my frustration away, which led to more frustration, now placed upon myself.  I only came home with one pair of jeans and 3 new pairs of socks.  No new shoes, and I couldn't find a pair of pants not colored black, khaki, grey, or navy that wasn't some muted, bland tone.  Just because it's not summer does not mean colors cease to exist!  On the positive side, I met my teacher's daughter at the mall.

Seeing as I ate my frustrations away, mostly with cookies, I decided to go to the gym for the first time in a while; my cardio is lacking at this point.  On my way back home I convinced myself to go to WalMart and pick up a few things for the trip; a journal and some travel containers, along with some food that is not for the trip.  I don't have much else to get, and I'll probably end up doing some shopping down in New Orleans, where there will be a bigger selection, and color still exists!
