I felt pretty confident after making it Facebook Official and hitting the stores. Then I started talking to people and realized I am SO not prepared, but I made my commitment and I'm going to stick with it. I have the VERY fortunate advantage of being currently jobless AND living in a place with many stores, so if I need a thing I can get it. Don't have cheesecloth to make your homemade ghee? No problem, hit up one of these stores within a 12 mile radius and get back at it! There's literally nothing else I am required to do for these next few days besides learn how to take care of myself and take my friend to the airport.
Then will come the true challenge.
June 5-8 I will be traveling for a conference. There will be catered meals. And snacks. And evening drinks. And I will have to exercise my powers of self-control and self-motivation and stick with the plan. My goal is to spend the next few days learning how to cook, and go into the conference with pre-made meals. And leave the conference with a lot of knowledge, new network connections, and a happy gut.
So yeah, it's going to be tough. And maybe I'm not nearly as prepared as I probably should be. But this is a learning experience, and one I know I can do again and again, and be better at it and better for it each time.
I can do this.
