Please don't tell me to be safe!!So many friends and family are concerned about my safety that I'm getting myself spooked and talking myself out of boarding the plane this Friday!! The reality has sunk in that I am actually flying half way around the world and climbing up the biggest mountain in the world and it's all happening in 4 , yes 4 days.
I'm working in a hospital setting and trying hard not to breathe during the day at work. I figure if I breathe at work, I may breathe in germs and I don't want to get sick right now! That's the power of Yoga, I can almost do this type of not breathing!:-)
The big dilema is the weight. I can only take 33 pounds in total on the Trek. I've peared it down but how do you make the decision what to leave behind. I may face -15 degrees C and would be unhappy freezing cold on a mountain half way around the world.
One of my trekking friend's told me today that it will be 27 C in Kathmandu when we arrive and 21 C with a low of 4 C at Namche Bazaar, our first stop on the Trek. This is the trading post for the Sherpas and sits at 11,300 feet.
I'm glad I've started a new job. It's distracting me and hopefully helping me to keep the calm and keeping the fire at bay before I leave. Oh and the Yoga has peeled away many layers!

Holding you breath is also good practice for those days when the oxygen is only 1/2 of what you're used to! Stay positive and don't listen to anyone! We are going to have a blast!
