Pass me the laundry basket.
Can I help it if I think that the best way to prepare for a trip is to spend my time reading my library books so that I can return them read before I leave, and turning the perishable contents of the fridge into cakeage so that it can be shared at work rather than spoiled/thrown out?
(In my defense, beside that empty suitcase is a pile of clothes, shoes, paperwork and gadgetry).
Read the books, make the cake and have a practice glass of beer!
