Felt echoes of Grandma in myself last night. Read Rick Steve's Europe through the Back Door last night, the section on money during travel. He casually mentions what you would need to do if your credit/debit cards won't work, are eaten by the machines or stolen and you have no money. He doesn't go heavy on the dramatic, but reading it just before bed when I was in a somewhat cranky mood anyway (for no good reason) left me ruminating on the nastier "what-ifs" as I was trying to fall asleep. Not conducive to pleasant rest. Hopefully that's all out of my system now and I can just go back to sensible preparation. I did learn that I need to put money from savings into checking as that is the only account I'll be able to access from the European ATMs. Food: 6:50 am 1 c Trader Joe' multigrain flaxseed cereal, 1/2 c light original soy milk, peach, 98 g raspberries, coffee 11:45 am Blueberry soy shake, 1/2 c 1% cottage cheese w/chives, 101 g blueberries 12:30 pm 5 mint M&Ms 3:45 pm 1 Riesen caramel Exercise: 4:50-5:25 am Jessica Smith Stride & Strength YouTube 5:25-5:50 sm Jessica Smith Dance Walk YouTube
