Things that I am going to miss when I am living on a ship off the coast of West Africa in "T" minus 3 weeks:

  • My beautiful apartment
  • Biweekly deposits into my bank account
  • Katie
  • Streaming “you tube” videos
  • Having pretty hair
  • Vegetables

Things that I am absolutely not going to miss when I am living on a ship off the coast of West Africa in "T" minus 3 weeks:

  • Waking up every morning and wondering if I have enough layers of clothing in my closet to make getting out from under the covers tolerable
  • Making decisions (The lovely thing about living on a ship is that 99.43% of one’s decisions are made for them. If my prediction is correct, I will be forced the odd time, to decide whether I want to use my Tupperware to transport my meal outside for a “dock dinner” or opt for the more traditional dining room meal. I am prepared for that.)
  • Make up (because I am bringing it all….obviously….)
  • Listening to patients complain about how long they had to wait for their free health care
  • Snow, ice, sleet, freezing rain, salted cars, cold steering wheels, sliding through stop signs, and running out of windshield washer fluid
  • Shoes
