Countdown To Departure

I can see people developing friendship without ever meeting face to face. If I have an opportunity, I may pay a visit to the Peace Corps Medical Office nurse whom I corresponded with over the last two months. See post below. 

She said "after all this hard work that you have a wonderful experience with Peace Corps.  From my point of view you should make a wonderful volunteer."

That's very encouraging.

T minus 9

Current status
Jun 25: I have been anxious, besides the packing of my stuff at home to clear the way for Alan to live there, I am still waiting for complete medical clearance—perhaps I will blog about the requirement to have my antibiotic allergy tested some day….

What a perk on Tuesday 25th Jun! The Peace Corps Medical Office nurse emailed "You are amazing'" when I told her I finally got an appointment at the Allergy Clinic. This made my day.

Jun 26: I completed the allergy to antibiotic test. So now I have completed ALL medical tasks requested by the Medical Office. I am expecting medical clearance to depart. Yea!!

Jun 27: Finally, I received medical clearance...!
Now I am panicking because I am overwhelmed with so much stuff to pack. I am so behind.
Where did I put the tape?
Where did I placed the bag with my travel essentials?
Very time consuming.
Very annoying.

Jun 24: My Toyota Scion was sold. She was a friend.

Ah, Friends, in case you are confused: my neighbors, Sharry, Rob, and their son Alan, will be looking after my home, my dog Sashi, and my plants for me. Alan will live in my home. This means I have to pack up my stuff, leave space for Alan, Nikki, baby, plus cat.
