Lets do shots! but not the fun kind

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

It’s been a while since I updated this and a lot has happened in the last month. Only two months to go now and actually running out of thing to organise. Hurray!! Inca trek to Machu Picchu booked (9th June- if anyone wants to join us, hehe), the decision to bring a laptop or to hang in internet cafés every now and again was made and, thanks to a lovely work bonus, I got myself the yummiest little Asus netbook, shoes sorted, most equipment sorted, first aid kit sorted… just a few bits and pieces left to do.

Soooo….. shots! Yeah, they officially suck. For me anyway. Day one was last week and just after I get one injection into the left arm and two into the right the doctor tells me I’m a bleeder! Great! And then my right arm goes dead straight away which is fun cause I have to sign a form and then have to go pay and enter my pin in the laser mashine. Tripping over my own foot didnt help, the receptionist asked if I needed to sit! Oops.

Aching all over the next day felt great too. In bed I could feel the backs of my knees and my ears and my toes all hurting at the same time. My right arm was pretty tender for another few days. Now day two is tomorrow and I’m dreading it.

Uh, I’d love a jagermeister!

Getting ready a little early

Sunday, June 7th, 2009

just threw this blog together this minute, dunno if ill actually use it. not that into blogging but the idea interests me. travelled before around eastern europe in 2006 and a tiny bit of california in 2007 but never kept a diary, only threw a few things into a envelope (bus/train tickets, cards from places we ate, beer mats, etc.) so would have liked a diary to look back on.

heading away on a RTW with Brian but not for at least six months if all goes well but of course im getting excited and organised a little early. very me!

just cant wait to get out of here.  🙂
