Mellon Collie and the IPSF Sadness

(ProBlog: My admiration to those who ID the album reference!)

Tonight marks the end of Day 2 Post Congress. More productive day today, but still seem to be under a blue rain cloud, compounded by some illness which is making my nose annoyingly drippy. This made worse by the fact I have misplaced my Sudafed Sinus tabs and you can't buy a decongestant in The NL, of course. SNIFFLE SNIFFLE.

It's the usual Post Congress Blues I suppose, but I think they will ebb as we get closer to Cairo and the excitements starts to build, mainly because we all get to see each other again! And I do have to admit that I am very excited to see Egypt. This is most likely moreso due to the fact that I know I will be staying in a SUPER swank hotel and I don't have to worry about adequate bathroom facilities or cleanliness or hot water or salmonella or hepatitis...one would hope.

Keep thinking back to what amazing friends I have made this year, and because of IPSF in general. The 8 of us on Exec left with such sadness because we knew we would be removed from each other's lives...potentially for good if we weren't careful. And Congress, and the crazy events within, brought some of us surprisingly close, which makes leaving all the more difficult. Thank GOD Tana is still here in The Hague for awhile so we can continue to break out in uncontrollable fits of laughter just by looking at each other.

Must try to get some sleep. Want ot resume Tae Bo asap, but should wait until the sniffles go away methinks.
