T-minus 12

Wow, okay, so 12 days till we take off towards my sister's wedding and our Australian adventure and then the next chapter to unfold in Waterloo. It's overwhelming when I let myself actually think about it, which is rarely. Because oh my freaking jeebus, is it ever a lot of stuff.

We gave C&M their wedding gift tonight- a hot air balloon ride over Melbourne befrore they return home to Canada for a bit for their schooling. It's the classiest outfitters we could find (they are a registered airline!) and after the flight they go down for a 5 star gourmet champagne breakfast att the swanky hotel in town. They really seemed to like i and it made us really happy. If the weather is grumpy and they don' get a chance to fly, then we have a (Canadian) plan B so it's all good. Whee!

Other than that, S&B was lovely last night. It was good to chill out for a few hours and chat, even though our place is less and less hospitable.

Finally, our landlord deserves more credit than I give him (but not much) ...it looks good that we'll get another fridge tomorrow. The self-defrosting kind (for a whole 7 days we'll enjoy it! No problem, future tenants!).

So, all in all a good day. C and I practised putting on our makeup and I am happy to report that we looked particularly hot. And also, my stye-eye (now infection free!) is still funky as it sheds a bunch of skin. It's moulting, like representing a new, infection-free phase of life. It's spiritual. Or just gross, depending on how you come at it, but whatever. She opens, she closes, and she doesn't seem like she needs eyelid-gastric bypass, so I'm happy.

Hasta luego...soon this will be a trip journal! ahhhh!
