Dropping in to say I&#8217;m still here,  just way busy getting ready to go.  Trying on wool underwear and socks.  The socks, okay, I can deal with them, but the underwear &#8212; dude, it&#8217;s like the tortures of Ragnoth.  I am on strike in favor of microfleece.  Ash says he will gut it out and take the wool because he wants to be just like Ernest Shackleton, and they didn&#8217;t have microfleece in Shackleton&#8217;s day.  IMHO, Ash is sometimes insane.<\/p>\n<p>Rainy, on the other hand, sweet-talked her parents into buying her these ultra-soft unders made out of special wool from special sheep in New Zealand.  It&#8217;s softer than my old stuffed rabbit, Bunzo, who, I confess, is still on the top shelf of my closet.<\/p>\n<p>Also, think about it.  I&#8217;m going to miss the last three weeks of school.  And every single one of my teachers is loading on the extra work!<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that all three of us are finished with our medical tests and are now officially &#8220;PQ,&#8221; which means healthy enough to go on this trip.  Yahoooo!  The other good news is that instead of expensive ultra-soft New Zealand froo-froo sheep underwear, I got a really cool new camera which I am learning to use so I can take awesome pictures of icebergs and otherworldly creatures of the deep and stuff.<\/p>\n<p>More about Donald Frog soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi, hi.
