Today was my first day of unemployment. I've been super busy, what with the packing and the running around looking for gear. I still don't have a backpack, but I do have some nifty low cut hiking boots, which should be sufficient until I get to Nepal. I am also done with shots for six months, when I can finish up Hep A and B.

I will be unplugging the cable modem so I can return it tomorrow, so I will be signing off until I can get resituated at home, probably next week some time. Oh, and I just wanted to clarify that my last entry was partly tongue-in-cheek, and I am not really considering calling everything off (at least not yet, I have non-refundable tickets!). Thanks for the advice to all who replied, though. I intend to write more on this eventually.
