Pre-departure musings on what I’m leaving behind

It has been one week since my first Adventures in Dublin post, and I am happy to announce that my Ireland “to do” list has shortened considerably. Today I knocked off yet another task from that list, which was getting my dog Silla [Sill-ah] everything she will need while I’m off adventuring in Ireland, but it nearly broke my heart in the process. (Yes, I know I’m being melodramatic—I tend to do that when my furbaby is involved!)
