Jul. 28th, 2009 08:41 pmMy list of Things To Do Before I Sleep Tonight has dwindled from roughly a million to roughly a thousand. SuperShuttle is (hopefully) going to pick me up from work tomorrow (let us pray the Metro works as well), I will not forget my passport (which happened last time I tried to go to England), and I am a lot calmer now that ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
girlonaroad has let me know that the festival does not start bright and early on Friday, as I'd thought, but later in the day.
girlonaroad and 8585_john are driving up to the Lake District from London, and I am stowing away in their car, and then there will be nine days of meditation, teachings, and empowerments. Oh, and roughly six thousand Kadampa Buddhists trying to crowd into a tiny town with only four restaurants. Not all of us will fit in the temple, either. I'm hoping to be able to meditate there at least once! And to see Geshe-la in real life, not just a simulcast, at least once. It's his last festival.
Today, I greatly entertained my coworkers because it was the first day I'm allowed to eat fruit! And I went a little overboard, in fact now I have a stomachache, and probably I've shot the whole damn thing to hell. Which, um. I like that I lost weight, but my jeans are about to fall off my body these days, and I hate shopping enough that I almost wish I hadn't lost the weight. Yes, I am a conflicted individual.
I just discovered that my roommate cleaned the bathroom for me because he misread the schedule! Which means I should vacuum for him, I guess... Laundry, then final packing (should I take my teddy bear?), then shower, then bed. I might actually get to sleep before midnight!
