My Mind is Somewhere Else

I have a little over a week until I am in India and I can't seem to think of anything else! I'm trying to stay focused at work and at home, but it's easier said than done. I can't even focus on this entry. I can't spell. I can't type. I can't alphabetize files at work. I eat cereal and forget to put the milk away. Things are getting bad. It isn't as if I am anxious because I feel unprepared. I am the Queen (yes, capitalized) when it comes to making lists and preparing for things like this. In all honesty, I've had one of my two bags packed for the last two weeks, and every night I unpack it and repack it making sure everything I have on my list is in the bag. Yes, every night. And yes, I'm that crazy.


I have decided not to check any bags. None of the clothes I own are appropriate; my modest clothing will make me too hot, and the clothes that will keep me from overheating are not at all modest. I have decided to pack next to no clothing and buy five salwar kameez outfits when I arrive. Aside from the clothing conundrum, another concern I have with not checking luggage is not being able to bring sun screen. I was told by a friend not to worry about bug repellent, and recommended a brand of cream to pick up when I arrive. But I've been told by many blogs and travel threads to bring sun screen. That advice makes me wonder, how could sunscreen be so hard to find in India? I'm betting it's not that hard. But just to be safe, I'm bring a small 3 0z. tube of SPF 30. Hopefully that will do until I find more.

Well folks, that's all the boring nonsense updates I'll give you for now.
