Well Then, That Is The End Of That

It has been a while since I had something to update, but here we have it. After many months of being in the lurch on the medical aspect of my Peace Corps application I have come to find out today that I am now fully medically cleared for the second time. The surgeon wrote out a clearance paper for me that says I am fully healed and ready to depart the moment they say "go". Which means... yes, I can now go!

What that depends on though is the Peace Corps having a position open for me to move into which has proven problematic at the end of 2009 and at the beginning of 2010. The countries that are putting out the requests now need to put up a position where I am a perfect match and then I get to head out.

Keeping the fingers crossed this long still seems to pay dividends. In the meantime I have kept busy with different scraps of work and hobbies. Having quit the full-time job so long ago I forget what it is like to get up earlier than 9AM, but I am sure that I can swing right back into the flow once something concrete comes my way.

More patience for 2010!
