Another day to go

I did very little today. I actually slept 'til 10 and was very happy that I did. I bought the supplement for my dad. This "MoveFree" thing is huge in Asia. I got 3 bottles and hoped that would last them a while. I took a nap too. Later this evening I hung out with Nicole who was carpet shopping. We spent a good chunk of time in her car chatting and waiting for the sales guy to show up, then we looked at the samples and picked the ones that might look good for her office. The cost turned out to be a lot more than she was expecting, so she had to wait.

I think I am kind of ready to go. Then I think about the wait between the airports and the long flights, I wonder what have I got myeslf into? I am going to be like some kind of a zombie by the time I arrive in Shanghai. This is normal for me, think about the negatives before the good stuff. I have not left the States in 12 years. It was all work, some breaks here and there, but never a full scale vacation. I finally got my greencard this year, and I thought I was going to get paid a lot better after moving onto the new job. Sure, my salary got a little boost, but the transition was anything but positive. Now this trip is progressing rather quickly and successfully (so far) I have to believe things do happen for a reason. Tomorrow is definitely going to be hectic. Then Sunday I will be going going and going. China here I come.
