Tick tock

Just under one month now until I leave.

AH! Where does the time GO?!

In other news, I went to visit the girls today and held My Mai for almost 3 hours and gave Peach a bath in there, too. I'm going to miss those little cuties. Mai-Anh will be a completely different child by the time I return. Sigh.

In effect, the people who pay into CPP are having their own money used to help fund Trump-era immigration enforcement and the harms associated with it. Canadians are appalled by the actions of ICE. What a betrayal you would use our own money to fund these bullies violating human rights.  CPP is not abstract capital—it is our deferred wages. Contributors should not ...

It's the Friesens' appointment with US immigration regarding Joshua's citizenship today. Please pray that everything will go smoothly, all the proper permissions will be granted, and that all of the following paperwork will fly through their respective channels so they can have this settled already.

Deep breaths, just relax

I am immensely relieved to have my visa application in the mail...except I won't be free of trepidation until I have my passport back, visa approved. Sending my visa makes me realize it's actually going to happen -- sooner rather than later. Just one more day of work at the newspaper, 2 1/2 more shifts at the bookstore. Training the new guy today went well for me; I hope it went well for him as well! Thankfully, I have news that I will not be wandering around Douala by myself upon my arrival in Cameroon. (Okay, not that that was going to be the case, but it sounds more dramatic.) The original plan was that I'd meet Dan and Lisa at Charles de Gaulle and continue with them from there in on. Just the way I like it -- being "adventurous" within the safe parameters of responsible and experienced oversight. However, the U.S. government got in the way of those plans with delay after delay with Joshua's paperwork. To say I was worried about arriving in Douala all alo...
