I started packing up clothes to store at my mom's house. I still need to pack up my children's books, my books and a few more clothing items. It is so weird to think what clothes I will need in Africa, when I have never been there or really met someone who has to help me pack what I need. The only thing I will need to move to my mom's house will be a desk, and one book shelf. When I moved home from college I DID have a bunch of kitchen stuff, furniture and bathroom stuff but I figured I didn't need it, and since it would sit in storage for 27 months, I just gave it to the women's shelter in my town. I did get a lot of stuff for Christmas but I still feel like I need a lot more. I also got an eye exam and had them fill out the paperwork for the PC to have on file if something does happen to my glasses while away. I got another pair of glasses and new lenses in my old pair.
I had a week off work because we were closed and I was so excited to get some stuff done for the PC but I didn't do shit. Oh I did get my nails done and my eyebrows done!!! (probably for the last time) I spent a few days in Evansville, where I went to college, to visit friends and ring in the new year with my friends. I had more fun the night before NYE then on NYE.
I had a few good-byes to say when I left and I cried a little. I did not like it one bit.
I am having a Going Away Party Jan. 22 at my sisters house for family and friends. I really hope my friends from college come because I want to see them one last time. Now I just need to have a going away party with my co-workers!!! I originally planned on having my last day of work Jan. 20, but I am so glad I made it Jan. 13 because I am definitely going to need those extra 2 weeks to get my stuff together.
O AND I CAN'T WAIT TO GET MY STAGING INFO SOON!!!!!
Be kind to one another
You say: "It is so weird to think what clothes I will need in Africa, when I have never been there or really met someone who has to help me pack what I need."
ReplyDeleteI would just like to remind you that you DO know someone who has lived there for 3 months, and it would be ME. I would be more than happy to help you pack and figure out what clothes you need to take.
