Hello! This is actually my first post on VG, because I love reading ‘How Was Everyone’s Day Today’ and always seem to miss the day it debuts and then i feel weird about trying to answer the day after because THAT’S NOT WHAT CHRISTMAS IS ABOUT.

So I finally made it today! Yay!

My day was very nice! Things are back on track for my upcoming trip to Kenya — I finally submitted my permit application to the government today, and I found my passport (it was at a Kinko’s), and the lady I’m supposed to work with turned out NOT to be in the hospital, just in Montana- so lots of wins!

Then I was briefly sadpants because I went out to walk my dogs, and one of them got loose and took off into the woods, leash flapping futilely behind her, and she didn’t come back forever. So I finally walked home, sad and freaking out and envisioning the many ways she was probably getting stolen/eating a poisonous plant/getting hit by a car and then I opened the door and VOILA! She actually had gotten home before me and my roommate had let her in — I guess the wild freedom of the outdoors turned out to be pretty boring after all.

Then my roommate cooked delicious Colombian food for dinner and also I snagged a beer from my office so I’m having that for dessert. Paleo!
