One Week to Go
It’s the home stretch now…in a week’s time I’ll be there. Unbelievable! But in the meantime, I’ve got to get rid of the nasty winter bug I’ve caught, while still managing the list of things that need to be done. I knew this cold would catch up with me eventually, everyone’s dragging around with something these days..and I’ve been on a grand tour of NY/NJ the past two weeks, visiting family and friends all over the place, and it seems that everyone has a sniffle or sore throat.
But it has been so fun — I went to see both my godparents and visited my two godchildren. (That’s me with absolutely adorable Abigail!) I spent one morning at a school for kids with special needs where my cousin works and also visited my mom’s third grade class one afternoon, where I talked to the sudents about my friends who are living in China. There was a Super Bowl shin-dig with the girls, and a few other enjoyable get-togethers with aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. I keep saying to everyone that I feel time will fly very fast. I think these five months will go by quick…
Today, while nursing myself on lots of liquids and soup, I’ll put the hard-core planning on hold and take it easy with some pre-trip pampering: a long-overdue haircut & a pedicure too — a treat for my toes before the five months of intense walking, hiking and backpacking that lie ahead.
