Things Learned this week...
1) It's easy to get a new passport within 24 hours. Or, I hope it is. 1:30 appointment, they promise passport by 4, flight leaves at 8
2) forgetting to take your medication is bad. Starting up again at full dosage is worse.
3) If you have prescribed sleeping pills, it would make sense to bring them on a vacation that involves a) international travel and b) sharing a room with a parent who snores. Forgetting them in Chicago would be worse than forgetting your passport. forgetting both? downright unforgivable. OOPS.
4) Maine is even more beautiful every year.
5) I don't ever want to be 98 years old. Not ever.
6) 98-year olds don't like doctors. They don't want doctors near them.
7) Driving for 6 hours with your mother is very different at 24 then it was at 16. Enjoyable even.
8) Vaseline, the only thing that will restore my lips, is located next to the hemmeroid creams in CVS
9) I miss Chicago, but am excited for Ireland.
