Dearly Beloveds

Dear The World,

Today I leave both the Southern and the Eastern Hemispheres. It has been about 5 months since I've lived in the Past, and today I will fly out at 2:50pm, travel for approx. 20 hours (I've got a stopover in Aukland and LA) and arrive in Sacramento BEFORE I left, at about 2:30 THE SAME DAY.
Isn't the world wacky?

Oh Joy.

I am totally out of Antarctica clothes and back into Kai clothes, which means I am back into at least 2 different patterns and 2 different colors of stripes. I have a bug around my neck and black lace scarf on my head. I feel better, and ready to face this massive trek of forced-air and flourescent lights. I have a bitchin steam-punk sci-fi book (which I've read before, bu that's ok) to read, and a Nalgene full of tea. My backpack is the only thing that says "Antactica" on it, which is sort of amazing.
