Countdown feels real now

Today was spent working on a final checklist.

This morning I spent most of the time at the USDA...again. While the ladies there were nice, it was pointed out that the vet used whiteout on the bilingual form. This could very possibly be rejected in Germany. I'll see what Baltimore baggage says. They offer an offsite vet if something goes wrong. Worst case scenario, I send Etsy back to Indiana. I really truly hope it doesn't come to that. Arr!

The afternoon was spent mailing things, changing addresses, and packing my things. C and R generously took me out to a send off dinner. We ate at Callagh's Pub. T joined us. We ate a Jameson burger, a corned beef and cabbage plate, a plate of ribs, and some tasty chicken. Below is a picture of the burger. I had the beef and cabbage. It was definitely freshly made and was very filling!

J had a good day today. She's getting into a bit more of a routine at work. She also got a chance to bond with her boss a little bit. Today, she accidentally locked herself out of our home in Germany. When she informed her boss that she needed to leave early to take care of it, he was okay with her request and joked with her. He apparently made the same mistake but broke into his house before calling a locksmith! I'm glad she's finally starting to bond with her coworkers. Just like any other job, it will take time.

Oy! Another crazy day tomorrow. I get to see my parents for the first time in weeks. Should be fun times!
