Good Times...and 4 weeks to go
Hello People,
I have had a fantastic week. Dr. Tharp from my mom's clinic threw me a great going away party out at his ranch/land type place. People from my mothers vet clinic were in attendance and it was incredibly fun. We drove around on 4x4's and road a zip line over the pond...ate a bunch of briskit and some old fashioned cherry cobbler. Over all a fantastic day...I got some well needed cash and some gift certificates for REI which will be going into use tomorrow....backpack and shoes.
On Sunday I made an escape to Austin...a little trip home basically. it felt good to be back in my environment. Went out with some friends...got my drink on. Then I proceeded to have a panic attack about moving. I was about to fall asleep and suddenly this fear gripped me and wouldn't let go. I was convinced for a moment that the journey I was about to embark upon was one that could not emotionally survive. I had to talk myself down but I was about to basically give up. Now when I say that, I don't want you to think I WAS about to give up...it was just a little emotional hurdle that I needed to jump...and jump it I did.
By the way...I watched The Exorcist and just so everyone knows....Kenya is where Lucifer fell when he was cast out of heaven...I know....gives you warm fuzzies all over.....right!

while i did not watch the excorsist recently i did look up about spiders in kenya and they are the size of me! i keep thinking about this book that i read to kids i worked with at a preschool called "spiders are our friends" i also watched hotel riwanda this past week for the first time and i had been wanting to see it for a while now, it's very powerful but maybe somthing i would watch a bit more in advance than a month away! - shuly
