pooped.

sigh. i wish i could be more excited about leaving tomorrow afternoon, but i'm just pooped. and i reallllly don't want to pack, which i haven't even started yet, i'd rather go to sleep. i finally ate dinner for the first time since sunday, thanks to shrie's bridal shower - and really i should be doing work, but my brain is fried, and i need to pack before i conk out. i'm going to try to cram as much as i can in tomorrow morning before we take off, and do what i can do offline on the plane.

i'd almost say i'll be relieved when i get back home, except i won't be because the day after i get back, i still have to run more training sessions for all the US-based people. between my coworker and i, we are currently covering 5 people's jobs, and when i get back, quarter end starts! no break for me.

plus i'm still bummed that i'm going to be missing so much here - especially shrie's wedding, and maria's phd graduation. not to mention everything else going on, like saratoga girls dinner. major bummer. :(

don't get me wrong, i'm thankful i get the opportunity to go back to taiwan (haven't been there in over 10 years) and japan (haven't been there in over 20 years) and to see my relatives in japan - i just wish it would be under more relaxing circumstances.

and regarding bob's comment on the post on his bday.... HAHAHAHA. oops... shally's right, that's SO wrong, but we totally never thought about it or made the connection. sorry!

by the way, please pray that my knee will hold up with all the walking i'm going to have to do. i'm bringing my workout stuff to keep up with my therapy while i'm gone, but i'm still really worried about endurance and long distances.
