I Love the Yukon!

Unemployed again, and heading to the Yukon! The job that runs June-December is not yet posted. I would like to get it, as it is perfect with my desire to be back in Ghana around the end of the year. If Megs comes though, I will have a problem, but we will work out all those details when they are facts not speculations. I am so excited to have this chance to go to the Yukon again! I didn’t think it was possible, but I messed up timelines everywhere, when really, everything was perfect! Amber will be here tomorrow evening, and on Wednesday, after I get my stitches out, we are heading north! I will hopefully see Leatha and her girls! And I finally get to see the changes done to the restaurant! I get to talk to Amber for a long time, without any boys in our ways (although, we will be talking about boys…), and I don’t have to sit on my ass here in town all week, doing nothing. However, I have spent the last three days lounging in the sunshine, and I won’t complain about that, but the sun is not expected to shine all week, and I have no other plans! When I thought the Yukon wasn’t possible, I was going to head to Travis’s parents and see Nathaniel and them, but it turns out he had the same plan as me, so that plan was quickly ex-nayed! It is his parents after all, not mine. But it turns out, the Yukon is where I was meant to go! Tomorrow will be a busy day. I have to talk to CIBC about my bank account there (they are doing foolish things!), I have a lunch date, I have counseling, and I have to meet Amber and pack!

I get my stitches out on Wednesday (as previously mentioned). The nurse will take them out, and will have a preliminary diagnosis for me. However, Dr. Galliford will not have a full diagnosis or plan (if there is such a thing) until 6 more weeks down the road. Frustrating? Yes. But it is the same old story. We will do this test, wait 6 weeks. It’s ok, wait 6 months. Oh, you need to see a specialist: wait 6 weeks. Test again: 6 weeks for results. Cauterize, have all the symptoms backwards, wait 6 weeks. Everything ok, wait 6 months. It’s a story I know well. Yes, I am still nervous, but I won’t stress out until the week before… and I will know what to expect after Wednesday’s appointment. Mom is coming with me, in case the news is bad. Then we will know if she needs to come with me for the real appointment as well.

The doctor told me to expect a period after the operation. I have not had a period, but I have had more spotting than normal. That is frustrating as well – this is to see why I spot not cause more! I thought it was getting better, but last night it got worse again (Of course right?) But it is just spotting, which I am sure is better than a full out period! I knew that I bought a million panty liners by mistake for a reason – I haven’t run out yet! I do however, have to find where the rest are packed, as I am almost done this box. Lame. One more thing to do. Good thing I am a bum.

Just wanted to update anyone who reads about my life before I head north. I am not sure that I will have cell service, but I might. I guess you will find out what the good Doc has to say when I am back online next! And my computer is going away tomorrow – Travis is coming to pick it up tonight – he has talked his roommate into fixing it for me…
