"Adopt the Pace of Nature; Her Secret is Patience"

I haven't actually left for New Zealand yet. Clearly. I do not leave for another week and a half. But - I have been doing the majority of the grocery shopping lately, and I have been measuring my time left by the expiration dates on the gallons of milk I buy. Whenever I check the expiration date before placing the milk into my cart I think, "Wow, when this milk is expired, I'll only have a week left before I leave!"
When the gallon of milk expires that I bought today - I'll be in New Zealand.
Farewell dear January, you have been a blissful month of excitement and raw anticipation caused by milk expiration dates. But alas - the month I have been waiting for is finally arriving.
February, I welcome you with open arms, as you represent the month when all the big adventures begin! Bring on the Kiwi magic!
