Down another lb to 66 lbs lost! After today, I'll be in damage control mode for 10 days.
Finally finished cleaning out the car and am now starting to pack. Still have to make a trip to the tip and a trip to the commissary for a few bits. Since we're self-catering, I've put together a list of things from the pantry here to take along, rather than buying everything there. Just little bits, like spices and condiments (soy sauce, chili powder, cumin) and grill things like charcoal and (real) heavy duty foil. Someone told me one time you can mend airplanes with American heavy-duty foil--unlike British foil, which is weaker than tissue paper.
You would think I'd learn to just shut up after a while--but you'd be wrong! I'm getting better, but there's one person in particular who just brings out the worst in me. You've heard of the anti-Christ? Well, you need to meet the anti-Christ's cousin--the anti-Hellmann's! [The advertising slogan in the States (and maybe other places too) for Hellmann's mayonaise is 'Bring out the Hellmann's and bring out the best.'] Today, this person was crying about some stuff happening at work and I just had to respond to the Facebook post. I'll probably live to regret my comments--but every once in a while I just can't stand the idiocy any more. The good news is that this person is getting a lot of (deserved) flak about this latest in a long line of badly-thought-out posts.
Now it's time to pack and get the last load of laundry started. I'm getting very excited! I guess it's also time to check a weather site so I have some idea what to pack. Ya think?! I still plan to write something everyday while I'm gone but I'll do it as a text file and then download when (if?) I can find a WiFi cafe. Happy early August--and I'll be back on 13 August.
