Anticipation

I’m getting a bit more excited about my upcoming travel which is now less than three weeks away from starting. After a bit of difficulty in getting a bank cheque sorted through my bank, I sent in my passport forms and it came back within less than a week. In the end it would have been less hassle all around to just go to the consulate to do it.

I’m still working on getting others to cover my hours of work. I think it will work out in the end but I was told by my supervisor to remind late last month but when I did he just said to contact the other carers and see what shifts could be covered. But I came to a decision that I want to cut back on the hours as a carer when I come back so perhaps I will just do that from the end of this month instead of down the road. I will still be looking at working the one day a week plus my plan is to look for a proper library/information management sort of job.

I’m really hoping no major traumatic events occur while I’m there. It’s causing a bit of anxiety for me but also for the rest of the family. I am trying to avoid thinking about that because there’s really no point to it. But it does lurk in the back of the mind.

On the plus side I look forward to meeting up with several people while I’m back home. I have lots of family to see in NC and in PA but also college friends and some online friends. Of course there is also the wedding to attend. I am looking forward to meeting my future sister-in-law too. Will be kind of weird to be going back to my old neighbourhood to the same street but a different house than where we lived.

I think I had more to say about this but I seem to have forgotten. Which is the problem of writing so late at night.
