Whew! I suppose that most members of the female species would really enjoy a full day of shopping, but I, on the other hand, find it exhausting! However, the increased feeling of preparedness is a bonus. I have officially bought all the things I need for India. I am currently up to my ears in hand sanitizer, mini kleenex, vitamins (including fibre supplements :)), and wet wipes. It makes me really excited (especially the fibre supplements. Just kidding.....although I probably won't be once I'm there and actually need them.)
My to-do list is down to something like 3 items....which, coincidently is the number of sleeps I have left in my own bed. Do you remember being little and counting everything by "how many sleeps!?!" Christmas, vacation, birthdays.....it all came down to sleeps. And now that I am beyond that, I find myself wishing I could sleep....I am so excited I often wake up at about 7 o clock with my eyes wide open and my nerves saying "get up! You're leaving soon! So much to do!!!" and I drowsily turn over and wish I could turn off the excitement for a couple more hours. Oh well, all part of the experience, I suppose!
I am thinking that the one item I will miss the most, yet can't bring, is going to be difficult to leave behind. Can you guess? Yes....you're right. It's chocolate :) unfortunately I believe that the average temp of 29 degrees C will melt my lovely chocolate into a perfectly delicious puddle, and I will be left bereft, and therefore have opted not to bring any (well.....I do have some for the airplane....but nothing for once I arrive....). I guess that when I return home to the abundance of chocolate in my house at Christmas time, I will be duly rewarded for my abstinence.
Two and a half days......time is flying, it will be difficult to determine the best use of the little time left....but I suppose the Grace of God will suffice for all that I cannot do.
