- One last shot - a week before I go
- Get a mosquito net
- Soak all my clothes in Repel Permanone
- Uh, buy Permanone =)
- Get the insect repellent (got to figure out which one doesn't melt plastic!)
- $50.00 bill for my Visa when I get there
- Slip on shoes for the flights - Tennis shoes to waterproof and leave behind
- Prepare a devotion
- Get peanut butter =)
- Go medicine shopping!
- Get 3 heavy duty trash bags
- Pick up my malaria pills
I plan on taking my stitching and MP3 player for the flights. My medicine has to be in original containers. My heating pad was a bust. I have to send it back - they think I got a defective one. In the meantime my cousin (Hi Yvette!) suggested that I try the thermal wraps. I used them this weekend and seemed to have fairly good luck with them. I plan on buying some more for my flights. I went to goodwill and got some nice tops to leave behind. I still need to get a skirt/dress for church. Still trying to figure out what pants to wear. Someone offered to pick up some suckers or smarties for me to take to the kids (whoot!).
Got my hair cut up to my neck - it's just long enough to pull it up. It should be a lot cooler on the trip. We won't discuss the color... =(
Now that it is getting so close I'm really starting to get nervous/excited. It is feeling more and more real. It's on my mind constantly - and I'm dreaming about it more as well. I honestly can't imagine the living conditions for those that live there - and I really don't think I will until I experience it. I could really really use your prayers to mentally/emotionally prepare for this.
That's it for tonight - I know there is more, but my brain is tired. I promise to keep you posted!
Thanks for sharing this experience with me!
