Expect the expected.

One more day until Zambia. I am temporarily back to an undefined number of days until Zambia. A week ago, the documents needed to process my work permit were held at customs and could not be released. I have no idea what that actually means. Perhaps, trying to be serious in my passport photos might have been too frightening a sight. Lonely Planet writes, "In Zambia anything that can go wrong usually will. But until it does, there's no point in worrying." Oops... I guess worrying about my visa weeks ago was not to my advantage. Although, I'm surprisingly not all that frustrated or disappointed (okay, maybe a little, but subdued thanks to mefloquine). I will get to Zambia eventually, just probably not for another week or two. However, the thought of longer than that gives me a panicky feeling, so I hope I will not to entertain that. Now what to do for the time being... options: (a) renovate house with Dad, (b) ski, (c) work... more money = more travel possibilities.
