Packing anxiety tackled

Yay, my bag weighs 46 pounds fully loaded -- and I think it's just about fully loaded. So even if I've forgotten something, there's still some leeway. (The official weight limit is 70 pounds.)
What I didn't get in the bag, alas, was any type of pillow. They said to bring a small "camp pillow," but I was hoping one of my spare small pillows would do the trick. It made the bag barely able to close, so that's bad. I'll do the alternate method -- bring a pillowcase and stuff it with clothes.
Speaking of clothes, I've brought almost nothing to wear while in Los Angeles, which I suppose is OK, since I'm going back the very next day. I don't think anyplace will have any type of dress code anyway.
Now I can spend the next three days just double- and triple-checking to see what I've forgotten. And I'm sure I'll forget something. But that's why we've got stores along the way.
