The countdown continues...

Fun fact: when the chili starts going 'blub, blub' instead of 'bubble, bubble, bubble,' that means it's done thickening. I've also just realized that I forgot to put any vegetables in it! Crap.

6 days now.

I have 6 days to gather up my life into a neatly-packed suitcase and haul myself halfway across the planet, and I'm SO EXCITED. No sarcasm. I'm stoked to finally start this new chapter instead of just hypothesizing about it over and over and over again.

Speaking of suitcases, I am officially living out of my carry on bag for the next 6 days! I spent last night filling vacuum bags with my clothes (but haven't sucked the air out of them yet... just in case). For this last week, I've made a shopping list for the bits and pieces I have to pick up/the Canadian things my lovely hosts in Edinburgh have requested, I'm having dinner with my local friends on Wednesday, coffee with a friend from Leth on Thursday, then I'm going to Calgs a few extra hours early (yay international flights!) to say final Canadian farewells to my beloved Toast King and her mother before I fly out at 3.30pm!


Soundtrack to my life lately:

For some reason, I felt the urge to just listen to this song on repeat for hours last night, and then again this morning. I've quickly and thoroughly fallen in love with this production since finding the soundtrack at the public library last week.



 Anthony Rapp has been on my Broadway radar since high school, but I haven't seen anything he's done in the past few years except for the occasional time I've watched Rent. My goodness, does he ever shine in this role (from what little I've seen on YouTube)! WOW.
