organised?! ME?!?!

Well, so much for getting my pack on.

I am STILL in a state of "yup, its fine... ill have plenty of time". Umm, when is my lazy brain gonna figure out that i leave TOMORROW!!!! i must start packing. must must must....

ok, but after ive had a tea-break and a blog-sesh.

*an hour later*

Nooooooo!! not AGAIN!

Haha, im not fussed.. it'll be fiiiiine. i still have tomorrow morning to figure it all out :-) And its not like i have to DO much... i know i have everything i need here (passport, visa, money, adaptor plugs etc....) so its just a case of getting everything into a big pile and then shoving it into my bag. EASY! Surely that cant take long, right!?

Soooo, instead of having a day of organisational preparation, what did i do?!

I went riding with my friend :-)

It was such a nice day (apparently our "real" summer has decided to kick off the DAY i leave... thanks britain) So i thought, im not gonna waste it indoors when i could be spending it hacking out in the countryside. Ahhhh, it was bliss! I havent had a chance to catch up with my friend for a while cos its been end of term madness for both of us, she works at a school too but they didnt break up till yesterday. So first chance we had (and last chance for 2weeks!) we headed out on the horses and had a good chat/ride. It was just what i needed, cos i was starting to feel abit anxious about flying and two weeks away with a different routine and stuff, so to have that chill out time and an opportunity to talk things through with someone was fab. I feel alot better! AND cos i was riding, i made sure i did NO additional walking today!! my friend drove us there and back, so it really was just incidental walking in the yard and then sitting on the horse as we rode. Which was good... But admittedly, i felt abit guilty and stressed about it when i got home. Just cos i would normally have done SOME walking. but im not going to let it get the better of me.... the whole point of trying to do less walking is so that i can get USED to doing less walking and then NOT feel guilty about it... Well thats never gonna happen if i keep going for "just a little walk" to make me feel better. Really thats just the ED tricking me isnt it?! well i dont wanna be anybodys fool, so here i am... blogging and (semi) packing instead.

But now, i really muct get on to the task at hand! My bag is in the attick and somehow i dont think its gonna pack itself :-p

If i dont get the chance to blog tomo (which lets face it... with my current level of organisation, its unlikely!!) Then i hope you all have a FABULOUS weekend and i will try and check in during the holiday to keep you posted on what im upto. I am taking my camera and plan on taking LOADS of pics to capture the trip. i love having something to look back over when im home and missing american summer funtimes.

So, wish me a safe journey and next time i speak to you, it'll be from

the united states of AMURRRRRCA!
