i woke up this morning, rolled over and discovered z lying next to me about as relaxed as a wooden plank, eyes blinking rapidly at the ceiling. "you 'k?" i asked. his response was something along the lines of, "boingboingboingboingboing." yes, that's right, folks. we've had our last sleep in an american bed (much thanks to larsok for sleeping on the floor last night so that we could sleep in said bed) and are merely hours away from getting in the car to drive to lax. we've sorted through our bags, repacked them and i'm about to take a shower. we're in serious, serious countdown mode. to deal, z is slumped on the couch watching tv. and i'm blogging. wheee!
yes, dealing is required. it's pretty nervewracking leaving the country indefinitely with a pack of stuff and heading for a land to which you've never been. i always get a little nervous before travel - i think everyone does. unless you're going to dayton or something.

i realize that i've been so busy i've barely had time to register the fact that i'm leaving. the lovely rr was wonderful at amber on wednesday night - she was infectiously excited on our behalf. talking to her, i rememberd that i'm g-o-i-n-g t-o a-f-r-i-c-a. uh, today. yes, that'd be today that i'm g-o-i-n-g t-o a-f-r-i-c-a.

in other good news, my cold been reduced to a lovely morning cough and the occasional sneeze. i would no longer be an assett to the tenor section of a raspy-voiced choir.
my mind is spinning too much to concentrate much longer on this post. i think i'll take a shower, change into my airplane wear, finish packing my bags, call kkr+aj and twitch some more.

maybe i'll post a comment that's not spam. whoooo hoooo! you're going to africa! i hear that's where it all began, man. make sure they show you the special room. don't let them pretend like they don't know what you're talking about. because they do.
boing boing--hey that sounds like a little munchkin I know, goes by the name of Raelin. That was her MO yesterday. And my heart does the same for you, waving at you as you trapse around Tanzania. It's amazing how we can just make decisions and then carry them out and find ourselves so far away from where we were. A big kiss and hug.
