We're off the captain shouted, slightly off!

Mom's yelling at us to go load the car. Thought I'd say goodbye first.

I woke up nervous for the first time--the Science Olympiad nervous where my stomach tingles. It was nice though; I'd dealt with this before and had two options: ignore it or throw up. I ignored it.

Had a lovely breakfast, one last walk on the beach with my dog begging us to throw her a ball, and a swim. The water was all of 55 degrees and I got a brain freeze going under more than once, but I'd be damned if I didn't get one last swim in my Lake.

Off to Chicago now. Late lunch/early dinner with Clare, seeing the kittens, then off to the airport for a travel time of more than 24 hours. I arrive in Nairobi at 6:05 am on Tuesday--11:05 pm Monday for those of you in the Eastern time zone.

See ya in December, Michigan. Wish me luck.

  3. i miss u already! duuuude so u know how i crashed bob's car? well he got a rental while his car is in the shop and guess what just happened?!?! like literally, less than 10 minutes ago?! Bob and I were at my office because I had to work late and all of a sudden we felt a crash and heard a load noise and we ran outside thinking a car hit a building- but no, they hit his parked car- totalled both cars and literally moved Bob's parked car like 25 feet. it was insane!!!
