3 more days..

Woohoo I am finally up to date on my posts! From here on out everything will be present day. I leave Uganda on Monday morning and these last few days feel like torture to be quite honest. Except today I spent the day at the spa.. not so terrible. I'm at the point where I just want to leave and get it over with because I know how painful it's going to be and I can't stand moping around or lying in bed thinking about it. Carli is so sick that we can't really spend much time together because she needs rest and I feel so bad leaving her in this condition. I really have nothing to do but wait to say my goodbyes. We are having a little party tomorrow with the family as a goodbye and I don't know if I'll be able to get through it without getting emotional. Especially with Joan being so emotional these days. All it takes is for me to see someone else crying to start myself. Like I'm sure I've said before, I'm no good at goodbyes. I'm a big cry baby. Carli will be the hardest one to say goodbye to and I'm avoiding that one the most. I know I'll be back one day so that's not the issue. But I don't know how long it will be before I'm back and Carli is one of the only people who understands things the way I do and I think I've been a pretty good support system for her too, and now we'll be on opposite sides of the world. We spent so much time preparing to leave for this trip and live here but I didn't spend any time at all preparing for how I would leave and frankly I don't really want to prepare for it because I would rather just leave it until it happens.
