Don't you hate when people use a word like penultimate when regular words, like 'the day before I leave', would do just fine? But on the other hand, if you were the word 'penultimate' wouldn't you feel a little insecure or even left out if you never got to be somebodys blog post title? Conclusion: You can never please everyone.
Today has had some ups and downs. Firstly, I lost Patty (my purple stuffed platypus) Turns out she was hiding inside the duvet cover of my comforter! What would Leezle (Meghan's blue stuffed platypus) have done if I had returned home sans Patty? Secondly I lost and made $10 dollars. Lost thanks to a sneaky little Bank of America monthly charge that they "accidentally" and incorrectly applied to my account. I noticed this because I wanted to see how much my savings account had earned in the past month: a whopping 8 cents. With a 10 dollar fee... "Saving" isn't really what I was doing.
Other good things about today: Since I'm leaving the flat, its important that I eat all the remaining food in order not to be wasteful. So I'm working dilligently at the remaining Nutella, bread, hot chocolate, coffee, and hobnob biscuits, and saving one package of chocolate biscuits for the plane ride.
Tomorrow is going to be a very long day, leaving Fir Tree Farm at 5:45 am and not leaving Dublin till 2 pm since Eric and Sue have much earlier flight than I do. I have one book saved and a couple of podcasts on my ipod. And having gone through Dublin on my trip to Munich, I've scoped out the Smoothie Bar (outside security) Starbucks (inside the main terminal) and the Nothing Good (inside the International section, avoid for as long as possible)
Excited to be home tomorrow!
