Snacks and Naps

Today has been a series of snacks and naps. I meant to get out to Hood River with JP to tour his new property, but the weather and my state of mind combined to overthrow the project. Instead of picnicking and motoring in a convertible with a gorgeous man I've stayed in my robe and played Scrabble. It IS a silk robe, and I AM winning -- but still.

Tonight I am having cocktails on the patio with Tina and Michelle -- weather permitting, of course. Yesterday I was feeling a little miffed that Portland had pulled out all the stops just in time to make me feel bad about leaving, but all that's over now. It's cold and gray again. Good old Portland.

I'm trying to figure out if buying my Very Important Drugs on-line is a good idea. Anybody know anything about that? If the on-line pharmacy thing is NOT a scam then it is a VERY good deal. Amazing, actually. It seems too good to be true.

I leave in 13 days! I have to remind myself frequently that if I forget it I can buy it there, and all I really need to remember is money tickets passport. Everything else can be figured out. It's nerve-wracking, though, to leave for a year-long vacation with so many things up in the air. I'm just hoping that: I get a job; I get good medical care; I can use my US bank account without any trouble; I adjust to the climate; I can remember not to touch people (it's considered rude, instead of warm and friendly); I have enough shoes; etc.

Please come to my Bon Voyage party -- it will do me so much good to see you before I leave. It's a big undertaking and I could really use your company.
