Just another tropical island

[wayfaringwordhack]

Human beings are odd creatures. If I were in the States or France right now, the prospect of going to Reunion Island would thrill me. Since I'm already living in the Indian Ocean--on a less-than-paradisiac island, it's true--it doesn't unduly excite me. I know I will enjoy myself once I'm there; I know I will see marvellous landscapes, for RI is gorgeous; I know I will eat scrumptuous cuisine, but it hasn't sunk in that I'm leaving in six hours. Hmm, I guess I should see to packing.

Anyhow, we'll be back on the 17th. I'll probably be able to check my mail on occasion, but I doubt I'll have time to read my flist or post.

Be good, all.

it hasn't sunk in

I usually feel like that right until we're on our way.

Have a fab time - and I hope your lurgi has packed its bags and gone in the opposite direction.

Sorry that I'm getting back to you so late. While I did have net access (and adsl to boot!!!), I didn't feel comfy spending a lot of time on someone else's pc.

Anyhow, thanks for the well wishes. The trip *was* fab, but I had the funky throat thing the whole time and it is still not gone. If anything, it's worse because I feel it in the top of my lungs.

Thank you! I didn't expect a response - I knew you'd be on your way :)

Ack - sorry to hear that the lurgi is still around. Antibiotics next on the menu?

Antibiotics next on the menu?

Well, I had determined to go to the doc today if I wasn't feeling better, but I found the lung-clearing meds he put me on last time and thought I would give those a try for a few days first.

Good idea. Though I hope I'm not encouraging doc-o-phobia!

[mnfaure.livejournal.com]

*lol* No, I don't need any encouragement. :P

Have a wonderful trip!

[mnfaure.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

(sorry for the late reply, but your well-wishing was certainly appreciated)

Thanks

Done! and done! :D

Human beings are odd creatures, especially when one sickpea doesn't tell the other that she'll be on vacation for ages!!!

Are you sure I didn't mention it? Think hard. *evil grin*

We only chatted twice in the new year before I left, but I have this message from the 7th:

me (07/01/2008 19:08:00): But I actually thought about going to see one because we go on hols on Wed

And I mentioned it in my Dec. 13th LJ entry .

Hmmmm it's probably the memory thing, either that or I'm clearly not listening to what you're telling me, or the notion was so traumatic to me that I blocked it out. :)

[mnfaure.livejournal.com]

I vote for clearly not listening. *continues to grin evilly angelicly*

And why doesn't that surprise me? *raises eyebrow*
