and so i've already begun the lists, the frantic searchings for things that suddenly seem necessary for travel ease, the mind racing with wardrobe crises. at a time when one must save every last penny for impending travel, the need for a new purse, a new suitcase, a new jacket, a power adapter and an overdue haircut become evident. never mind finding decent & affordable lodging.
today i visited a website that lists all the things you can and can't carry onto an airplane. it was very helpful to find out that i can actually take water on board, but in 3 oz bottles only. i can also carry on a corkscrew. for the 3 oz bottle of wine of course!
the kicker was the column on the page that gives you the "week at a glance" in airport security. where you get to find out how many people needed additional screening due to suspicious behavior, and the number of firearms that were discovered, and that there is a tally of disruptive passengers, and that several incidents caused checkpoint closure or terminal evacuation. just a friendly reminder to live in fear.
but alas, i'd rather not.
just breathe. drink chai. and eat oatmeal. with fixins.
so does anyone remember the pet rock trend? who beside me in their childhood purchased a little rock in a box with googly eyes? i bring this up because tashi seems to be displaying the urge for a petrock. the other day she came inside with a rather nondescript rock she'd found in the yard. she named it nockrock. today she built a house for it. soon she will be setting a place for it at the table and we will be serving it small cups of soup.
and now, for some entertainment. you will see why i find driving in cyprus rather nervewracking:
