Counting Down the Hours

A few weeks ago I received my Typhoid and Hepatitis A shots at the Walgreens in Marina,CA. My total for both the shots came out to $208. I received my paperwork for the shots and after I was administered the shots I asked the pharmacist if there were any side effects that were not mentioned in the fact sheets for the shots. Mid sentence, the pharmacist fainted. Not only am I traumatized by shots, but his incident didn't make my experience any better. 

I'm currently on the CalTrain to San Francisco. I have my backpack filled with books and snacks. I'm glad I brought my book light this time (it's usually something I forget). I also brought luggage with me. Luggage consists of one large suitcase filled with shoes, clothes, hygiene products, vitamins, some pens, pencils, and toothbrushes I plan to donate, and other necessities for the trip. Jennifer, the case manager for Path+ (Peacock Acres Transitional Housing 18-24 year olds) and our new CYC Monterey Chapter supporter drove me to the San Jose Diridon station. She commutes to Salinas for work so she brought me to the station on her way home after work today. I anticipate arriving in San Francisco at 9:01pm. I plan on taking a cab from the station to Kate ( our CYC Regional Coordinator)'s house. 

Kate is one of the other 8 people traveling to the Philippines. We depart the San Francisco airport tomorrow at 12pm so Kate and I will travel together from her house to the airport for our morning flight.

I'm nervous, anxious, and excited. I currently have a cough and some congestion. I think and hope that these symptoms are just the vaccinations kicking in. Over all, I think I'm as ready as I can be for this trip. Who else is ready?
