Numbers Game
25 days until I leave for China
17 days until my going-away party at TC’s with City Goat (Monday, May 1st)
16 days until a night out on the town with the girls (and Scooter the door guy) from work
15 days until my first official going-away party at TC’s (Saturday, April 29th)
14 days until the going-away party at Keith and Bec’s for Ig and myself
13 days until I return from West Palm
10 days until my brother Jay’s birthday
9 days until I depart Charlotte for West Palm
6 days until I leave for Charlotte
5 days until my last day of playing bingo (how do you say, “Where’s the nearest mahjong parlor?” in Mandarin?) and the day I have to be out of my house
4 days until my last day of work and my friend Jeff’s birthday
2 days until I find out if I’ll be visited by just the Easter Bunny, or if the yin to his yang, the Easter Warthog, will show up with him (What? Your parents never told you about the Easter Warthog? I’ll bet they kept you in the dark about the Thanksgiving Eagle as well then, eh? Well, stay in the dark no longer folks; if you’ve been mischievous the previous year then the Thanksgiving Eagle will swoop past your house and take a dump on your bedroom window, leaving you a marked man for all the world to see. I honestly can’t remember what the Easter Warthog does, but I’m positive that it’s something along the lines of him belching/drooling on your Easter candy if you’d been bad, or that he snoozes under your bed constantly flatuating if you’ve not been good about cleaning your room…oy, crap, I have some last minute cleaning to do…)
1 day has passed since I last fudged something up; even though I marked it on my calendar, I didn’t remember until last night at work around 1am that I was ‘sposed to call my cousin Kyle to wish him a happy birthday; sorry, boo! Happy birthday and I love you!
4 days have passed since my procrastination finally caught up with me; I purchased my flight, but since I waited so long I couldn’t get one on May 6th when Ig leaves. Earliest out was on the 8th, and so Ig will be wandering Beijing for a couple days before me…sorry, brotha!
12 hours have passed since declaring at work, “Four more shifts and then I won’t be working for an entire year!”
WOOT-WOOT!

23 days of knowing where you are and that you are OK. (Until you start this trip)
184 days of not knowing where you are and that you are OK. (Although walking the wall is probably safer than walking home after work in Ypsi.)
????? days of knowing where you are and that you are OK. (Until you leave for your next trip)
I am glad you are able to do the traveling that you enjoy. Have a great trek!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi-ya, boyz!
More numbers…
Jay; only four days ’till I sees yas, but if ya really wanna talk about numbers, then it’s only 8 days until you turn forty…gack!! Which, unfortunately, means I’m right behind ya…DOUBLE GACK!!!!!!!
Dad; add one more ohmygod to my freak outs, as when I walked back in my room after we’d packed my favorite schtuff, my stomache dropped once again.
And the uncountable; while packing and pulling schtuff out from under my bed I encountered inumerable dust warties (that would be “dust bunnies” to you off-kilter folks, sheesh!)…the Easter Warthog strikes again!!! Plllttttt!! :p
