Night Before the Flight

[Thursday 11th November]
Flying really takes it out of me - I'm usually anxious and do not sleep well for anything up to a week beforehand, it usually takes me a week to adjust to the timezone difference when I get there, and a week when I get back. So a week's business trip is a three week period of sleep disruption and general unpleasantness.

In an attempt to have a slightly smoother departure than normal, I actually packed the night before for a change. Usually I end up packing about half an hour before leaving for the airport, having only remembered I needed to wash a bunch of clothes the night before, and in the absence of a tumble dryer needing at least a night (sometimes two) to get everything dry.
