1 DAY!!!
Actually I think my counting is a bit off. I do have one full day left. It is Monday evening and I leave at 6am Wednesday morning, so tomorrow is my last day at home. But its more like 37 hours.
Today I got up really early and went to the local library. I was able to buy a temporary library card for $15 expensive dollars to check out A River Between for me to read. I read that for a while at home and then went with my friend Rachel to Walmart to get some MORE last minute things. Got some extra passport pictures taken (why do they always come out so bad??). I got myself a nice clear, plastic portfolio binder to hold all my important documents in one place.
As I was gathering all of my necessary documents I realized something, my yellow fever card and medical forms were nowhere to be found. i could remember seeing them in a pile on the dining room table a week ago but then a bunch of junk mail got put on top and some of it got thrown out. I spent about 45minutes flipping out and searching everywhere for these documents. How could I come this far and then lose the most important papers that I have!? I finally realized how hungry I was, so while looking up the number of the nearest travel clinic to see if they could express mail me a new one, I opened the cupboard to find a snack. What do I find hidden in the cupboard behind a stack of bowls???? My yellow card and missing health form!! Thank you God for making me so hungry at that moment that I needed to open that cabinet! What a relief! I really thought I wasn't going to be able to go!
So now I am all set!
a side note: "Walmart" keeps coming up with red squiggles underneath it....shouldn't that be part of the dictionary by now??
