it's finally over

i made it through the week somehow. i will spare you all the details, but today i was pulling fishcicles down a metal shute. (is that spelled right?) i'm sure somewhere in the world is a machine that does exactly what i did today. it was the most useless thing ever. anyhow, i made it.
and tomorrow, we leave, sans parental units. as the story goes, phil stepped in a pothole in baltimore, which made his patella go wonky and he had to crawl to the side of the road (would have loved to see that one phillsy). after the ambulance ride and the mri, he is having surgery to repair the torn ligament on monday, thus not coming to tahiti. great timing! and jon and i not having travel insurance, we have no choice but to go ourselves. not that i'm complaining, but i'm not so sure i can handle 10 straight days of jon 24/7! people will probably think we are on our honeymoon. the forecast is rain until at least next wednesday, but that wont stop me from going in the water. as long as i don't have to wear a hairnet and gumboots for a few days i'm a happy camper. we will report back soon!
