grep -i "excitement_level"

As the clock ticks down, it is starting to register in my brain that I will soon be back in Japan. Just over two weeks to go. Every day the trip looms a little bigger in my mind. It gets a little tiny bit harder to think of anything else. I also keep going over the list of things I need to do before I go.

• Finish cleaning my apartment so that Devin doesn't run away screaming


• Buy cat food and litter so the kitties will have something to eat and poop in while I am away


• Pack, making sure not to miss anything (maybe I should make a list of everything that must come with me).


• Buy any extra things that I need


• Cuddle my kitties extra so they know I love them lots


• Transfer money from my savings account to the chequeing account so I can access it from ATMs


• Get out some cash and have it converted to Yen so I have some cash on arrival


• Laundry so I have clean clothes to take with me


• Get Devin over so I can explain the "take care of the kitties" routine


• And probably lots of other things I am forgetting
  

So really I guess this post turned into a simple check list for myself. Sorry for taking up your time.
