“I’m Leavin’ On A Jet Plane” – Tomorrow!!

I just got home from my last shift at Atria.  Everyone is excited for me and told me how much I will be missed at the front desk and driving the Wednesday walkers to Dana Point Harbor.

“Mother Hen” is officially off to Uganda. 

Now then, let’s check things off the “TO DO LIST”:

The frig is empty.

The bills are paid. 

The plants are watered. 

The pool has been tested and is running clear. 

The front yard is weeded, edged and mowed. 

The Christmas decorations finally got stored away high the garage. 

The shopping is done.

All of the plastic bottles have been taken to the recycler. 

The back yard has been raked and swept.

I’ve counted and rolled 17 of 95 Jinja Jugs, traded the rolls for cash at the bank and gave it to my church for donation recording.  The Jinja Jugs contributed $1,807.76.  To date, $5,887.62 has been raised for the well and the dental clinic. 

The banking is DONE!  

My passport, immunization cards and plane ticket are in with my laptop in my new laptop roller carry-on bag. 

My backpack is loaded with munchies, DVD’s, CD’s & CD player, earphones, book, water and sleeping pills! 

My Good Neighbor Roy will be collecting my mail while I’m gone. 

My other neighbors will be watching my house. 

My son will be coming over weekly to keep my pool from turning green and watering all of my house plants.  His “to do” list is waiting on the counter for him.

My sister cleaned my teeth today and gave me a crash course in TEACHING FLOSSING 101.

Thanks to Stan Gray, I learned how to use my laptop, transfer pictures and videos from my camera so I can blog while I’m gone.  This blog entry was a “laptop test” and it worked.
The packing is DONE!!!  I managed to pack everything into 4 suitcases and 3 boxes.

YEEHAH!!!  Everything on that “TO DO LIST” is DONE!!! 
It's 2:00 A.M. and I’m going to bed!!!  

Unlike the song, I do know when I’ll be back – 4/27.

My flight is 22.25 hours.  Please pray for “Airline Mercies”.
