Here's the thing...

I've been behind on LiveJournal for months. Months. I keep wanting to go back to it, and it keeps not being safe. (For recent example, when I'm changing medications and topics like Roman Polanski are all popular, it is Not Safe.) Plus, I'm scared of my backlog, and freaked when I find people have deleted their journals and I don't know why.

Anyway, the point is: my intentions to make some pretense of catching up are kind of dead now, because in 24 hours my flight is due to take off, and after that I won't have reliable internet access or much time to kill until Christmas.

If something important is taking place in your life at any time in the next three months, please, please tell me. I care. Seriously, even if it's something unimportant, if random trivial crap is happening you vaguely feel like talking about but it's not worth its own post, feel free to drop me a comment - I like that kind of thing.

Replies aren't going to be so reliable, though, because: travelling.

Official travel blog is here. Pictures will be going up here. I will also still be journal posting, when I can.

Today I am packing, seeing people, and generally preparing. I've made neatly-bound sets of photocopies of my travel documents, and repacked my travel documents in the nifty document wallet I bought yesterday - finally realised that Wellington Surplus was totally the place to go, because Wellington Surplus has everything. I have my travel stuffs, both normal and a little unusual (like the waterproof stuff sack I bought, for the specific purpose of putting my camera in it when I come in from very cold environments to warm environments, to keep my poor camera from being too beset with condensation).

I bought a torch, because I realised I didn't have one, so now I have a three-cell AA Maglite.

Really, I've spent an awful lot of money lately, but some of it only sort of counts - like, spending $200 on meds doesn't hurt so much when you factor in that it's meds for the next few months. It's not even travel expenses, it's just expenses.

Everything is going to be fine.
