It rained, a lot, so it's cool and it smells good outside. We have 9,000 things to do before we leave for Japan in less than two weeks. Most of those things are happy and fun, like pinning down itineraries, but it's still a lot. The thing that is stressing me out the most about the trip* is finding good walking shoes. I'm about to return my fourth pair tomorrow. I would like them to look good with shorts, skirts, and jeans and need them support my cantankerous feet, and I am running out of time to break them in, whatever they might end up being.
The thing that is stressing me out the least is finding things to do. We could burn our guidebooks now and be plenty entertained, I suspect.
I think I'll open my bedroom window for the first time in six months and go to bed now. Maybe I'll even put on some pajamas.
*Ok, actually the thing that's stressing me out the most is that we'll either come down with H1N1 or that enough of our fellow Americans will come down with it that we get denied entry. But, jeez, don't tell anyone, okay? I know it's stupid.
