The packing begins

I've started to pack for the trip, and it is exciting. Busting out with all my summer clothes (it is supposed to be warm, but rainy), and starting to think to myself that I need a new pair of walking sandals. Time to go shopping!

Been listening religiously to Saint Etienne recently, I just LOVE them!!!

Speaking of religion, I went to see the Dalai Lama in San Francisco this past Friday and Saturday. Lots of really deep stuff, I just drowned in it I couldn't keep up, and guiltily, I slept through roughly 1/4 to half of it :( The stuff I did happen to catch was quite good.

Also trying to shake off this flu. Coughing has gotten worse, and had a short bout of the fever yesterday. The coughing was so bad at one point that I couldn't get out but a few words, not even a complete sentence, before I was overcome by the hacking coughs. I was indoors most of today with a headache that I can't shake, but it was nice to take a nap with the breeze and the nice weather. With the level of activity these last few days, I think I needed a rest.

I think you're supposed to arrive in China first and THEN become deathly ill. I understand a lot of folks still bunk in with their barnyard animals in that part of the world. Pack some extra hand sanitizer!
