down to the wire

So I still have a wee bit of packing to do, and a few days left to finish all the paperwork and other nonsense I have been putting off. All that I can say is that I have a colony of restless butterflies residing in my tummy! Come this time next week I will (hopefully) be adjusted to the jet lag in my new (pseudo-temporary) home. A huge thanks to all who have wished me well in all of your special ways. I'll keep you all "posted" (haha... get it?... I'm posting on a blog...) on how my life develops in Cape Verde and I hope you will stay in touch!

p.s. A good way to stay in touch is to send me letters to read when I am lonely!
