First:
I think I messed up my knee. I was doing my workout today and bent to do a squat and my knee started shooting with pain and gave out. After an hour of attempting to bend it and stretch it, I decided to forget the work out today and just take a shower. Hopefully it will feel better tomorrow.
Second:
While I was drying my hair after my shower, I had a realization that I needed to find an adapter for my hair dryer when I go to Korea. This led to me sitting and thinking of all the things I am going to need to use with an adapter over there. And I have no clue where to get one or what exactly I need.
Third:
As I did the dishes today after making lunch, I suddenly realized that there is no way I am going to be able to bring my own dishes to Korea unless I ship them there ahead of time. This will work out as long as I know the address of the place I am living before I get there. It may work out better to just buy new when I get there however because who knows how much space I will have or what I'll even need.
Fourth:
I do not own a suitcase. I thought I did, but when I went to dig it out of my closet, it seems to have shrunk a great deal. I have never traveled anyway that I couldn't just fit everything into a big duffel bag. This is a problem.
Fifth:
I have no clue how I am going to get all the stuff over there that I need. I mean, how do I pack, winter boots, winter coat, pants, skirts, high heels, flip flops, tennis shoes, shorts, dresses, sweatshirts, t-shirts, blouses, sweaters, and everything else I need for a year into only fifty pounds?These are just a few of the things stirring around my brain today while I clean and organize and sand away. And now I get to add to these thoughts by worrying about the phone call tomorrow with the person from Gone2Korea, and the interview on Tuesday, and getting all this stuff done that needs to get done while I work overnights.
I think that my plan for the rest of the night is going to be, turn off all of the lights and electronics and everything, have a cup of hot herbal tea, and stare out the window at the first big thunderstorm of the spring. I need to take a deep breathe, and relax. Then tomorrow I will start making lists, lists, and more lists. I have five months to figure this all out. No need to panic yet.
