Hello, you lovely, beautiful readers! I have good news, and I have bad news. I'm gonna be a killjoy and post the bad news first.
My adorable little ham of a kit, Kili, decided that he didn't quite like the fact that I'm going to be away from him for 27 months, so he thought he'd try to delay my Invitee processes- 90% which involve the computer/internet. Short story short, he knocked over a mason jar filled with flowers and water on to my laptop, which in turn became a drenched electronic mess. It's currently taking up space at a lovely computer repair shop while undergoing a free (music to my poor ears) diagnostic test to determine exactly how damaged it is. Thanks, you horrid furball.
Good news? Well, I have a lovely Public Library that I get to make use of! Well, my town has it, I just feel that I can claim it with the intense hours I've been putting in while finishing up online paperwork and modules pertaining to being a new Peace Corps Invitee. This means I've been required to actually wear pants while on the internet. And sit next to other humans, not all of which smell pleasant. First world struggles, yo.
Really, though, I've completed all of the "submit within 30 days of accepting your invitation" required documents outside of my legal kit, which is currently being mailed to me. I think I deserve a bloody huge cookie and a cuppa. Too bad I'm trying to be healthy. I'm just going to eat my carrot sticks and be sad. Stupid rabbit food.
Now it's time to wait for said legal kit, and track down my immunization records, figure out how to defer my student loans, start learning the Ukrainian alphabet, and make appointments to get myself medically cleared for service! That sounded a lot more fun before I actually read it. It'll be worth it all when I step onto Ukrainian soil and realize that I'm still in no-way prepared for service! I can't bloody wait.
