On Tuesday I fly to Taipei, Taiwan. The temperatures in Taipei currently are between 67 and 85 degrees. It snowed here last weekend. It seems weird to me to be packing summer clothes when I am going to have to wear a sweatshirt and coat to the airport at ass-o'clock Tuesday morning (and since my flight leaves at 6am I will likely forgo my usual tradition and won't be calling ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
gwendolyngrace from the airport. Maybe, if my flight is on time, I'll call from San Francisco in my hour-and-a-half layover, but not from Logan. You don't want to hear from me at five-thirty AM, right?)
From San Francisco it is the wicked long flight to Narita (Tokyo, Japan), and then on to Taipei. I land in Taipei Wednesday night around 10:30pm (which will be Wednesday morning at home). I will likely spend LOTS of next week offline and befuddled.
I come home over a very very very long November 19th. Leaving there in the morning and arriving home that same evening - but there is about twenty-one hours of travel between 8am and 8pm.
I fully expect to spend the week after in a complete fog - napping through Thanksgiving and my (mmrphle) birthday.
Got my new glasses today - I'd been putting off getting a dilated eye exam for a long frickin' time, because I have a huge phobia of stuff going in my eyes (why I will never wear contacts). I spent a lot of time apologizing to the person examining my eyes because I was a real handful. I even had to sit on my hands at one point. My new glasses are pretty cute.
On the plus side (sorry if this is too TMI), I got my period today, fully two days early, but that means I won't have it for the bulk of my travel - just a very little bit at the beginning. Way to work with me there, body!
Ugh - I have a ton of things to finish up doing before I go! (And, if the world is really working with me, then the leaves will all be off the trees and there will be no snow on the ground yet when I get back so I can spend the times I AM awake Thanksgiving weekend doing some yard clean-up - I can't do it before I go since my oak tree is still all over leaves. I'm never this lucky, but I can hope!)
