The last two days have been crazy. I am leaving to go to Nome for a week and I wanted to get all of my stuff (or at least the vast majority) shipped to Kobuk before I left. I thought I would do my shopping during my 6-week Alaska Transition to Teaching Summer Field Experience, but I ended up being crazy busy and couldn't get it done. Then I went camping for a week immediately (and I do mean immediately, we left within a few hours) of finishing. So on Thursday and Friday I shopped. First, I made a list of everything I thought I would need. Then I went on Amazon and found all the things that I could in reasonable sizes with free shipping. Next, I went to Fred Meyer's and bought a bunch of stuff. Then on Friday morning Grandma and I went to Costco and then Sam's for me to buy the food for the Nome trip (I'm in charge of meals). I spent the early afternoon at the church organizing all that to take with us as checked baggage to Nome today. Then I resumed my Kobuk shopping. My uncle and I went to Costco where I bought the stuff for me. Then we went to Sam's because Costco doesn't have paper towels in the select-a-size sheets. Then to Walmart to buy the things I didn't want in a Costco size. I did forget a few things on my list, plus I wasn't looking for everything on my list quite yet.
I got home and we filled the kitchen. I got out my plastic totes and started packing them. I wish I had taken a picture. It was quite a sight. I have a good start on the foodstuffs and will try to ship these boxes (along with my bread maker) just about as soon as I get back from Nome. Then I'll need to shop for gear...
