plus/minus

When I was in San Francisco in January, I was sitting in my rental car getting ready to go somewhere and it hit me...my hands and feet were not burning. You know what I mean, that painful burning that happens when you're outside or in the car in the winter in Chicago. It happens even after driving for a while, that burn never seems to stop. That is missing in California. It's a feeling that I would love to never experience again. So that would be a plus.

Tonight I had a little 'I'm leaving the country for a month' dinner. I tried to keep it small, just the people in my life that I like a lot and see often. There were 15 of us, and three people canceled last minute due to illness. I wouldn't have that there, the large web of really excellent friends that I have here. That would be a minus.

Just some things to think about. Right now all I can really think about is trying to make everything go smoothly while I'm gone and make sure that I have everything I need for the trip. I can buy anything I forget, though. I'd just rather not have to.
