Remembering What's Important

OHMIGOD!

Two weeks from tomorrow I will be on my way to Belarus!!!!!!!!

I may have kind of, a little bit, flipped out this week. It was rough. I had four very intensive days of homework, work was stressful, emotional crap... So, I have been getting really nervous about going. All these "what if" scenarios keep popping in my head and I was getting pretty anxious. Not to mention that I got two calls from the consulate about my visa application... :\

Last night, I got out my box of letters and read the first one I received since breaking our silence a year ago. As I read it and let the excitement and warmth was over me, suddenly my worries disappeared.

While I am still nervous about my visa until it is in my hand, I have reconnected with my host sister and another friend there and I feel like I have several people to reach out to if needed.

It's all gonna be ok.

I'm going back!

OMG!

Curveball

I've been excitedly awaiting my gastric sleeve surgery and this weekend was a three day weekend. I was planning to get so much done. Boy...
