Time keeps slip slip slipping away.

Well it's now less than six days until I head out onto the road again.

That last update was pretty bleak sounding, but I've gone through the Day Treatment program at the QEII now (tomorrow is my last day) and I feel fantastic.

There are a lot of factors that have lead me back on track to happiness, removal of toxicity in my life, the return of the sun, and new companionship.

Part of me is super excited to travel, and another part of me wants to stay home and bask in this newfound relationship. She'll be here when I get back. I know, I know.

So, I'm gonna lay out everything that I'll be taking with me.

1. Large travel pack. Not sure how many litres, but it's huge.
2. Sleeping bag (need to try and find a summer worthy sleeping bag before I leave, the one I have is too warm and it's very awkward when it's damp)
3. Ham-tent/tent-mock
4. Therma-rest style sleeping surface
5. White fuel and burner
6. Travel pot/pan combo
7. One pair of pants (need new ones, overalls if I have to)
8. Two t-shirts
9. One pair of shoes
10. 3-5 pairs of socks
11. 3 pairs of underwear
12. Some instant oatmeal
13. Emergency food rations
14. Many sturdy grocery bags to keep clothes in, and for feet in case of rain.
15. Large poncho.
16. Small flashlight with extra batteries
17. Lighter
18. Passport
19. Wallet
20. Multi-tool/knife
21. Sunblock
22. Hat
23. Electrical tape
24. Cell phone
25. Two water bottles, one sealed and one with drinking nozzle (hm, I need to get these)
26. Juggling balls
27. Anti-bacterial water filter
28. Travel multi-spice shaker
29. Rice
30. Hoodie
31. Light jacket
32. Multi-vitamins
33. Poker chip and small ceramic bicycle for good luck
EDIT: I thought of more.
34. Hygiene bag (tooth brush, TP, etc.)

I obviously didn't have this list figured out ahead of time, it's kind of all over the place. Anything people would add/subtract?
