I'm just a few days out from Mexico and I'm freaking out. Partially because I'm excited. Partially because I'm afraid something will go wrong and I'll end up being yelled at by security somewhere (or stranded on the side of the road in Mexico because I misunderstood where I was going).
I know the odds are slim on those other things, because I am a worry wart that overplans everything and has contingency plans, but still. Until I'm safely there, I'll worry.

My mother is being annoying. I'm trying to coordinate times to chat with her daily. Due to connection fees, I told her we'd be chatting online (Facebook chat, because we both have Facebook). We just need to schedule a time daily, so we don't end up trying and missing one anther. Except when I send her the critical email detailing what times each day would be best to chat, she goes radio silent. My family worries. My grandmother will be hounding my mother daily because she worries. My mom got this gene from her. I got this gene (diluted) from mom. So why is mom being difficult? Yes, she had agreed that if she's not available at a time, my dad will be able to chat with me. (She tried saying![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bubblesbrnaid could chat with me as well and report to her, but I pointed out that really, the only person whose word she was going to trust was dad. She conceded that point. Not that I won't chat with Bubbles probably at some point, but I know my mom. She needs firsthand confirmation from my dad.) But she hasn't responded for herself or him.

I need to put some books on my Kindle for the trip. I put three on the other day and have already read two. LOL I have a gift card! So yeah, I just need to go over to Amazon and find something.
