A brief writing--

--in which the author mentions the following:

-She is now vaccinated for Typhoid, Yellow Fever, and HPV.
-Appreciates the nurse with the UK accent at the local clinic who said, "Awesome! You're going to love it there!" in response to my travel plans as opposed to the travel clinic PA who said fearfully, "Well. *breath* my kids have done some pretty unusual stuff *looks to the side* but nothing like this. Good luck." Wtf?
-Still thinks that diva cups are excellent.
-Washed the dishes today.
-Went rafting yesterday with her "nieces" and their parents, all of whom are super-smart. She set up ground rules for 20 questions that included, "Nothing mythical, super weird/unique, or something that you learned about at science camp" and still this was a response to a question, "Well, it's an idea that comes from a noun, and, yes, parts of it are cold." Love them. Love rafting.
-Made a new resolution to stop being afraid of swimming and learn how to swim better.
-Had a very successful headband-themed birthday party and appreciated her friends' evaluations of headbands that were "not weird enough."
-Is very excited to go see Adele and have wild fun at Lagoon this weekend.
-Is slowly but surely getting things in order for her trip. And still can't believe she's crazy enough to do it.
-Is becoming more tech-savvy and can post videos and recently learned about the lovely world of Pinterest.
-Is choosing to share the following silly song with you because it's on "Play Often" on iTunes.
