            WHERE I live and how LONG even one thing can take. On
            top of that I wondered if I could keep up with these new 
            moving related subjects in my second language. So I prayed. I
            asked that today be a "walking on dry ground" kind of day 
            instead of a "wandering around in the wilderness" kind of day.   
            I made it to 8 places, marked off 10 things from my list AND
