4 Nights Until I'm In Iceland!

I'm all packed...it took less than 45 minutes. I have to make financial arrangements at the Vet and the Emergency vet (just in case). I left some credit at the grocery store for my housesitter. I have to do some laundry, clean the apartment, henna my hair and a pedicure. Oh--and get over the sinus cold I woke up with on Saturday morning; the one that seems to be spreading down my throat to my lungs. And I was worried about catching a cold on the plane! Oh well; vodka and orange juice seems to work well as a decongestant, and massive doses of vitamin c, echinacea and "Germ Defense" effervescent cold formula can't hurt. And I'm missing my animals already...

But on the bright side; I am not sure of the philospohical/esoteric reasons I'm travelling. I told one supportive person I was looking for an objective point of view--a chance to step back and see into my life from a different perspective. A dear friend (who's renewed presence in my life after many years has basically made this trip possible--THANK YOU D!) suggested I'm on a vision quest. Then we started joking about the fun ways to pronounce paradigm, and we decided I was going on a para-diggum shift. (You know, it's the simple house frock you wear when you are deciding what to change into.) I dunno--whatever, I think it's important, as in life, to simply take this one minute at a time and not over-analyze my trip/journey/adventure. Experience the moment, grab the joy, be, live it while you got it!
