First Week

I have been taking some time to get used to my backpack (named Michelle for obvious reasons). We are getting to know each others little foibles; my inablity to straighten my knees when she is loaded up/her complete refusal to close her zip over Dan's copy of The Journals of Sylvia Plath. Work in progress.

Trying to build myself up to fitness for the project. Ended up face-down and panting on Monday during a "body conditioning" class at the gym. Some goddess looking about twelve years old runs a class which seems to be run along the lines of what you might expect in Guantanamo Bay.

Still feel like I am "pulling a sickie" from work, but I am sure that will pass.

Love to everyone - Michelle says hi!

  1. HI MARILYN! (and Michelle - though goodness knows how you came by that name?) So sorry I missed your leaving do :( - problems collecting son from holiday.

    I hope you are having a really wonderful time - am still VERY jealous and wish I was with you! Keep posting lots of photos and blogs so we can keep up with your adventure and if I win the lottery in the new few weeks/months can I come and join you? Ha, ha.

    Loads of love, luck, best wishes and mosquito free nights.
