I think that tomorrow night I will stay home.

Saturday night:
Clear. Wind becoming northwest 30 km/h overnight. Low minus 43. Extreme wind chill minus 63.
Ow.

Grannie's funeral was Wednesday. I called and talked to Mum in the evening. Hard day all round.

However, my passport came and I sent off the information, to get my visa for Australia, and then my tickets arrived yesterday. So I guess I'm really going. Maybe it'll be a bit warmer than here. I'm leaving here Friday and staying in Edmonton Friday and Saturday nights, flying to Vancouver Sunday morning to meet Mum and Dad and catch the plane for Fiji. This gives me some leeway if flights get screwed up due to storms. This means that I've got a day to shop in Edmonton, but my list is pretty long. I've got to get a dress for the wedding, I desperately need a haircut, I need some other clothes, too, and books. Definitely need books...

You are going to go into shock from the heat of summer there. Whoa. Remember to get up every 4 hours during the flight and walk around a little bit so you don't get blood clots. It might make the other people in your row irritated, but you'll be healthy.

I am so sorry about your grandmother. Take this time during your trip to enjoy being with the people you love and to talk about your memories of her.

I think that, yes, I will be in shock. But it will be good to see everybody.
