I have been in a complete tizzy for the last couple of weeks. Packing up our apartment, finding replacement insurance, pricing backpacker tents, getting immunized (ouch!), trying to figure out how I will survive on 3 pairs of shoes (!!), where are we going for Carnival and where will we stay, all of the little things like “what about our mail?” and “where will we park our cars?”, omg where is my 1099 so I can file taxes, AND STILL WORKING AT MY JOB have me in a strange mental state.
It’s a strange mix of excitement, stress, apprehension and nervousness…not only produced by the thought of the trip itself of course, but at not having either a home, a car (with us anyway), or a job for an undefined length of time.
I am constantly fluctuating between all of these different emotions, and that is stressing me out even more! I’m on a strict prescription of at least one glass of wine a night by my acting physician husband.
I’m wigging out ya’ll!!
On another note:
I am not one to tell other people that they should do something (ignores shouting chorus saying that’s bullshit), but after reading all of the little pamphlets in the lobby depicting what meningitis and hepatitis and all of the other diseases could do to you, I’m going to encourage you (yes, you adults) to get some immunizations. In Texas, the state offers almost any immunization you could need for only $20.00 a shot. And if you have insurance, it’s possible it may cover some of them too.
I leave you with a jolly artist’s interpretation of ye olde cow pock:
