Goodbyes Don't Make This Trip Any Easier!

So, I had to say goodbye to all the people that I love a lot this week...and it sucked...a lot. I do not like the fact that the community that I have been building and committing too has to get uprooted every summer, it kills everything in me that is Com Dev and just me in general.

I'm home in Florida getting some rest in before I leave on Sunday. I am also finishing up some last minute things. It sucks trying to remember everything life because it always seems like you forget something vital and remember the small stuff. On my way home a friend of mine calls me and asks "did you get your typhoid meds out of my fridge?" I had already been driving about 7 hours and aptly replied "nope, I guess we just have to pray I don't get typhoid." I knew I was going to forget them from the start, because you have to refrigerate them to keep them cold. This is like the equivalent of a construction worker going to the site without his hard hat during the Give Clumsy People a Chance to Screw Things In On Really High Areas day, a accountant forgetting his calculator on Everything Hits The Fan day, C.S Lewis forgetting his pipe during a vacation he took so he could write , a schizophrenic forgetting his crayons during a 7 day road trip in a two door sports car. Think of how many books C.S Lewis didn't write because of his forgotten pipe... Ok I'm exaggerating a little bit, my friend is going to overnight me the meds so I can start taking them. Watch him get arrested because he is trying to send a package that is cold...I wouldn't mind getting typhoid if that happened actually.

Alright it's time to go work out my final budget for this trip...see you later

  1. aw Dave. that sounded like a stressful post. haha but i could just imagine you saying those exact words...and it seems to me that those feelings of craziness + "can't really do anything about it" attitude are mutual right now...Praying for you!

  2. You didn't say "nope" when I called you...

  3. ok, so I felt REALLY bad for you, until the metaphors came around and I started laughing hysterically! You're going to be fine. I think we're all in freak out mode right now.

    And I'll help pay JM's bail when he gets arrested with any money I get from selling mangos from my front yard.
