I’ve realized that up until a couple of days ago, I was paralyzed by my preparations for Zambia.
I had no idea what I needed to do and what steps to take beyond the obvious ones. Receiving some lists of to-dos from Vaughn and Dustin, however, has made things much more manageable. So now, I’m off to work on that list.
