not for the faint of heart

Okay so I lied. I'm not 65% packed but I am well on my way, in theory that is. You see I have everything all organized in my head, now I just need to find the time to actually get it done. But I'm good under pressure. At least I like to think I am. So no worries there. See so I basically am 65% done seeing as everyone always tells me its the thought that counts anyway.

So Alli and I were able to quickly find a new roommate for her so that is one big hurdle cleared- Nelson who also happens to be a newly hired Nike Inventa guy will be taking my place in our rocking Granville Island pad. Enjoy Nelson! The other big task from my list of many is the whole vaccine/meds ordeal. I went to the helpful travel clinic on Broadway and what I thought was a simple consultation turned into a series of unexpected arm pokings and later led to 3 days of useless right arm syndrome. Between the fatal warnings transcribed by the travel doctor and the stacks of literature the nurse gave me outlining the many risks associated with travel to Sri Lanka I figured a few sessions of wonder drugs was worthwhile. Now I realize that I have to visit that damned place three more times before I leave. Just call me superwoman come feb 9th. So. . .i have a feeling that a few of the people who enthusiastically volunteered to come visit me overseas may rethink it following this post. Not for the faint of heart I suppose.

well, wish me luck with round 2 on Friday!
