T Minus Ten

Ten days until deployment! Anxiety is rising, as I think I have everything taken care of, but I keep finding things that I need to take care of before I leave. I'll be so happy when the 7th arrives. I picked up some photochromic lenses to take to Antarctica, and I tried them out yesterday. I'm not entirely sure they get dark enough, but they do claim that they block 100% of UVA and UVB sunlight. They are easily the nerdiest glasses I have ever worn, and I've been wearing glasses for 27 years... Oh, and I have to wear them with Croakies to make sure they stay on when I take my goggles on and off. They just add insult to injury.
