Good morning! It’s 9h22am, and my parents and I are headed to chicago in t-minus eight minutes, and counting… I’m done packing, and everything fit into two bags and a tote, and after I use up all of the toiletries, give away the gifts, and ditch my towels for the flight home, I should have about a full bag’s worth of empty space to bring things back in for all of you!
On a side-note, I got my blood typed yesterday. After jumping through fifty different hoops and getting denied at just as many clinics, I decided to suck it up and ‘save up to three lives’ by donating blood at the American Red Cross. The guy asked me what I’d come in for, and I relayed to him my needle-phobia and the India trip, and in turn it was an extremely relaxing and easy process. At the end of it all, one of the employees came up to me at the juice bar asking, “Are you Kristin? Is this your first time?,” and handed me a black Red Cross t-shirt for my bravery. Awesome. Donating blood brings out the doctor’s-office-five-year-old-with-a-lolli-pop in me!
Three minutes.
