Pilgrimage to Assisi

I leave for Italy on Monday morning and I am not ready.  Came back from Atlanta on Friday, then went off to lecture in San Francisco Saturday.  Had to catch up and prep for Quality Council and my 4 month check up on Tuesday, but ended up sleeping all day Sunday and part of Monday.  Worked through the mail from the past week Monday afternoon and then worked on Tuesday and Wednesday and prepped for the first Chemo Quality Council meeting on Thursday.  Still have reports to get done for work before I leave, have to pack and get to the bank.  My computer is being picked up today and will be rebuilt and upgraded while I am gone.  I am hoping my meds come from Canada before I leave.  In case they don't, I have been rationing that prescription and taking it only when I really need it.  I want to pack on Sunday and then take half the stuff out Monday morning.  We are not supposed to check any baggage in case it gets lost.  Patrice is going to take me to the bus so I can leave my car at home.  I am excited about going, nervous about my physical ability to keep up with the group and about being ready on time, and overwhelmed with all I need to do before I leave.  I am working the night shift tonight and tomorrow and again when I get back.
