Ugh! It's not right! Why do I have to pack for 4 and Jim only has to worry about himself. I'm so over it. Grrrrrrr. I just want to sleep!
I'm just too tired and fighting a cold (probably walking pneumonia) and don't have the energy tonight.
When I was in line to pick up our visas, I was looking around the DMV-esque room and taking it all in. The embassy has an entire wall made of stone that is carved into a Chinese mountainside with waterfalls and Chinese-looking trees and it is just gorgeous. I stood looking it over closely, getting more and more excited about the trip. Will the views from Mutianyu be as glorious as I've read? I was imagining the family running and playing along the wall and stopping to take pictures with the breeze gently blowing.
Then the older "Auntie" hocked a lougie on the floor of the Embassy right in front of me and brought me crashing back to reality. I will still be in a foreign country where things like spitting anywhere and everywhere is perfectly normal. Huh.
Somebody go pack for me. I'm having a glass of whine. ;)
