Mexico 2009

Hi!

So, about a week ago my brother, sister and I decided we wanted to go to Mexico even though my parents had to cancel their trip. See, my dad’s the sales supervisor where we work, and my boss will be out of the office for most of next week (or so he says). So my dad has to be in every day to cover.

My siblings and I decided we want to visit Mexico anyway (it was the original plan). First we decided on one week. Then I figured, since I’m over there, and my aunt is a nurse and works at a hospital, I may as well ask to get my enlarged tonsils taken out. They didn’t usually bug me (the tonsils I mean) but lately I feel as if they’re… getting disconnected from my throat. It’s sort of scary, and painful, and for a couple mins I feel as if I can’t talk.

My aunt suggested that I take two weeks, due to the recovery time. I was hesitant, at first: I wouldn’t be getting these two weeks paid. See, I only get a week’s vacation time paid, and my family wanted us to visit Mexico (again) in the summer, so I figured I would ask for my vacation time to be applied then. But, I dunno, I’ve not decided yet on how to handle that yet. We’ll see what happens.

Anywho, my siblings and I leave (via bus) from Los Angeles to Durango, Mexico tomorrow morning. The bus goes out at 7am… Need I mention I am terrified?

I’ve never been out of the country, much less being in charge of my siblings. It’s going to be a long trip, it’ll take about a day and a half, and I’m sort of wondering now whether or not I should have opted for air transportation. It’s…. scary, the stories I have heard about people getting lost/kidnapped at the US-MX border. Hopefully we won’t have to get off of the bus very often. I figure a rest-stop once or twice would be fine….

Bah, I’m just horribly anxious. Both about the surgery, and the trip itself. I’ll be glad when I’m safely at my grandparents’ house, and safely back at my parents’ house.
