Waiting, but Success

Most of today was spent waiting on the FedEx person to deliver my overnight package; however, the time was used wisely to book the hostels in Canada, arrange transportation, and put together an overall Itinerary for the next month or so. The package arrived around 2 PM, and by that time my arse was a bit tired of sitting on the sofa and scheduling things on the computer, so off I went. First to pick up some medications at Walgreens, then to Jimmy John's for dinner (a tasty veggie unwich), and then the walk back to the hostel.

Now I sit here again writing this Blog, but about to walk the few blocks to the market to purchase some more water and food for the morrow.

For the past few days my mind has been whirling with thoughts of the past, decisions made, and what the future could hold. The gardens yesterday brought a bit of sorrow, but I know that the decisions made are the best ones for me, my health, and my mental state of being. Now I'm trying to prepare for the enjoy the adventure through Canada - Canada on a Budget.
