Brief update - little to report

I have my medical clearance, a necessary step in the process. I'm almost done with my rounds of vaccines; there is just one left to go. I mailed my visa request to the Venezuelan embassy a week ago.

I have a lot to do to get ready but I have to focus on school for the next three weeks. It's frustrating, because when I get home after work I feel torn between sitting down and reading and working on homework and cleaning, packing and decluttering. Myron has been sick, too. He spent a night at the animal hospital this week. So now between homework and preparing for my long time away from home I'm also trying to ply my cat with fluids and delicious treats filled with needed medicine. I get caught up in everything and try to remember that I need to take care of myself too and spend time with friends and family members while I'm still here but unfortunately I only have a little time here and there when I feel like I can relax and take a break.

I tell myself all the time that if I can make it through the next three weeks and finish up three of the four classes I'm taking now that life will get a little easier. We'll see. I'll let you know.
