Fifteen days before take off ... a quick perusal of what could be in store.... not to be scanned by the faint of heart or anyone that is going to message me that I am walking into Big DooDoo... no pun intended.
A woman came to the school, where I am just completing a teaching assignment, flogging a book about sandwich making sponsored by Dempster's and she brought a plastic replica of sh-- as a possible filling???? .... ergo my depiction of what I could be in for is not far off ... or does it just follow through in my chaotic-before-mega-trip-jitters-psyche?
These facts have been gleaned while reading the
