Hello Hello!!

I only had 60 days left and what happened?!

It’s currently less than two weeks before I move to South Africa.
Let’s look back for a second to somewhere around 45 days ago. Actually, make it 60 days from D-day.
That would make it a Wednesday.
Okay, now that you have somewhat of a time frame and a feel for the day, let me tell you a story.
