I start my arduous trip back to the US in the morning. A mere 10 hour drive to the airport, an overnight, then a 12 hour flight, then a 20 hour layover (thankfully in the same city where my sister lives) then another flight the next day. After that, I honestly have no idea what my plans are other than eventually making my way to Denver, hopefully within the week, with or without a new car. It's weird not knowing where I'll be sleeping more than 3 days out.
So, I'll be absent on the board for awhile. I still have some online classes I'm taking, so hopefully I'll check in sometime in the next couple weeks. Who am I kidding? There's another debate, right? You betcha I'll be checkin' in for that

Re: NER wish me luck
Fun if you consider I was going through my medicine cabinet and found leftover prescriptions
. No, I'll just take an OTC sleeping pill. My dog, however, will get doggie Xanax!
I have a Japanese phone that I'm leaving behind; I'll get a new one in the States. I'd thought I would be here for 3 years, so we just ditched our US plan and got the cheap Japanese one. Little did I know I'd be transitioning again so quickly. However, I'll be in the US again for less than 2 years. At least, that's the current plan.
