Leaving Vancouver...
It's 7:07 am, and I'm sitting here waiting for my flight and trying not to fall asleep. I only got 3 hours of sleep last night, sorting out random details, deliberating over whether or not I really needed another shirt---only to postpone the decision and throw it in a suitcase anyway. Packing for this trip has required much more thought than my brain's current capability....there's the formal wedding, and hot and humid NY and Rome, business Switzerland, cold and rainy Holland. Plus, I'm backpacking and also suppose to dress pretty conservatively for my program. I think I need to do some shopping in New York.
Anyway, it was nice yesterday...got to see Sara, Alison, Autumn and Betsy. Had breakfast with Sara at 8am which was lovely....she's leaving for the UK for good, but I have a feeling I'll be seeing her...like perhaps in the Benelux countries or in Vancouver in the next year. Alison was nice enough to run errands with me and treat me to some yummy laksa. Autumn was back only for a few days only to breeze out today for her European-African adventure. (She's the one with the packing challenge. A strict weight limit, and requests for peanut butter.) And dear Betsy came by at midnight to say goodbye.
Brain turning off again. You know you're tired when your blinks turn the world black for a bit too long. It's like my eyelids are closing the world out, pleaing to come and succumb and to keep your eyes shut. Come, succumb to the wonderful peace that comes with sleep....come and succumb... I've missed flights this way---okay, I've never missed a flight this way, though I've almost missed train stops this way. I know people who've missed flights this way. I hope I sleep well on the plane.
