Five things to avoid 7 days before visiting Canada.
1. Falling down a flight of stairs. While this isn't fun at the best of times, it's not particularly a good idea if you have a 14 hour flight ahead of you. Today I feel okay and they always say its the day after that you'll feel bad. It was enough to warn me to take care though.
2. Adopting a fuzzy grey rabbit. I'm resisting this with all I've got.
3. Shopping for digital cameras. When I return to Canada I think my brain will quietly implode at the price of things. I don't have money for a new camera, but I WANT one. It was like being a kid with a belly full of broccoli, spinach and brussel sprouts in a store full of great candy. I had to resist whipping out my Visa for a little shopping fun.
4. Planning a vacation when you get back from vacation. My summer school university students want me to go with them to Thailand when I get back from Canada. It's their graduation trip and I would like to go with them. Do I have more money somewhere I don't know about? No, I think I found it all last weekend.
5. Procrastination. It's great to do things like write blogs, but I have a to-do list that encompasses things from laundry to book selling. Watching the Chronicles of Narnia while my carefully planned list goes ignored was not the wisest move this morning.
