But it isn't all sims.

I hoofed it to Staples, which is nicely within walking distance, and found myself a backpack that will hold my computer and several other items. It is ergonomically designed so it fits nicely and doesn't strain either my back or my shoulders. I don't know how they did that. I put my purse inside it for the walk home to test it out. I am still quite the stilted limpy walker but maybe by the time we go to New York I will be a little bit better. In any case, having the backpack will make getting from airplane to hotel and back again much easier. There is room in there for a sandwich if I need to bring one onto the plane, too.
