i need to start packing...NOW!

And not just throw clothes in a pile on a chair as has been the protocol of the week. Thus will be the task of this evening, AFTER I make my appointment to see some flats (yay!) and AFTER I sneak in Tae Bo (awoke this morning to find I had left the DVD in the work computer, GRRR! BOB L'EPONGE!)but before I launch into finishing my PP presentations for my "Back for ONE Night Only" return to the U of M Fac of Pharm. Yes, open suitcase, put things in it. INCLUDING the fabulous new socks I purchased yesterday (pink and orange striped!).

Commentary on the evening that was will be brief at this juncture, but I will say that it was perhaps one of the nicest, most enjoyable evenings I have ever had the pleasure to be a part of. Interested parties can contact me directly for further details (not to say there are too many), and in fact your thoughts and comments are welcome on the course of events and speculated outcomes. I am in no position to decline advice.

I really cannot believe that I will be in Canada tomorrow. At all. Now the question remains, do I use the 9 hour Amsterdam-Toronto flight to get on schedule with my Portuguese lessons, read the latest Vogue and enjoy the in-flight movies, or heavily medicate and catch up on some sleep? Hmmm I think this largely depends on who is sitting next to me. They say when flying West on a day-time flight you should never sleep if you want to avoid jet-lag. Seeing as how my "normal" sleeping pattern resembles that of a Red Eye pilot I will take that with a grain of salt.

OK time to start the day. Am contently comfortable this morning...All is good...much, much, much to look forward to (perhaps more, perhaps less, who's to say, hard to say, a fool to say?) but yet slightly melancholy for the end of something that has yet to even begin.
