Is this right?
So I'm sitting here, trying to figure out how to create my blog--INSTEAD of packing for my huge move to Tanzania, which is happening in 3 days. Actually, we fly to Philly in 3 days; then it's off to Tanzania on 11 June, to start our service with the Peace Corps. So far I've packed and unpacked 5 times, and I think another round of the same activity is coming. I'm excited and nervous and nauseous, consumed with, I'm sure, ridiculously silly thoughts: will I have enough tampons? Are my clothes ok? Will anyone like me? Will I like anyone? Can I buy good lotion in Tanzania? So for right this moment, I'm wasting time, figuring out how to post things on my blog. I'm sure getting a pedicure and a massage today didn't help me get ready any faster, either...

Here are a couple of quotes about procrastination:
"Only Robinson Crusoe had everything done by Friday."
and
"The sooner I fall behind, the more time I have to catch up."
I'm so happy for the two of you! Some how it seems trite to say that your procrastination is just a part of the process for you to come to terms with this major life event. As you know, I would personally like to do a massage every day so relish it and all your deviations. Bon Voyage!
Big Hugs, Johan
