Things are looking up! I've been doing a lot of linguistics, eating lots of pineapple, and I've figured out why I'm getting dog lice from Rover--bye bye dog lice!
But I'm really looking forward to being on that flight. The other day I remembered how 6 months ago I saw this trip as a good way to get me out of my day-to-day existence, shuffling around in slippers nursing hot morning or cold evening beverages and avoiding leaving my apartment for days on end.
And now what do I spend most my time thinking about besides Chini linguistics? Shuffling around in my slippers nursing hot morning and cold evening beverages. How glorious the thought!
