One for the Money, Two for the Show

Today was hopefully the last snowstorm I have to endure until next winter. Two days left and we get five inches of snow! You couldn't have held off another 48 hours, Mother Nature, seriously?
Somewhere between shovelfuls of snow, I realized today was supposed to be the first day of my malaria prophylaxis treatment. What a milestone! And trust me, after taking that little pill the trip definitely began. Apparently "take with food" means eat an entire meal BEFORE you take the pill. Taking it, making dinner, and then eating does not count. Consistent with many other life lessons, I learned this the hard way. Another (preferably more pleasant) side effect of this medication is beyond strange dreams. This is the one I'm looking forward to!
Unfortunately, aside from these medical experiments, I haven't done anything else to prepare for Ghana... like packing or washing clothes. I did check the weather reports! It should be low 9os and sunny until June! (ok maybe only until next week) That plus miles of coastline, rainforests, waterfalls and classes that meet only one day a week: I'm flying to paradise Wednesday morning :)
