Life crazines

Sorry for the post hiatus, it's been nuts around here. First it was our anniversary (Yay!) and the PC physicals (Yay!) but then everything turned to shit. TB came back positive, the doctor thought I had an enlarged thyroid, our car got smashed (it was parked, we weren't in it, and the other guy's insurance is paying for everything, so no need to worry, but it was more crap to deal with), we moved out of our apartment and had to figure out how to pack a two bedroom apartment worth of stuff into a single room, and get used to having house-mates again (GIANT HEADACHE), I had ultrasound that showed a normal sized thyroid but one with oodles of nodules (further stress ensues, doctor eventually thinks they're fine and just part of my unique Tyan-ness, but takes a couple of days to decide), my sinus infection got so horrible I thought my face was going to explode so I went to the doctor for that, had to see the disease control specialist who made me have a chest x-ray and liver panel (both were normal), started on TB antibiotics that I have to take for 9 (NINE, grrrr) months, that come to find out react poorly not only to alcohol (pout) but also to certain staple-foods like aged cheeses, sausage, soy sauce, avocados, tuna, sour cream, and lots of other delicious things (double pout) all of which I now have to avoid, then my beloved childhood kitty Jasper died unexpectedly, work has been completely insane and I've been working overtime, and then to top it off Ken's Grandma who lives in a nursing home went into a coma, and is not expected to recover.

To say the least, I've wanted to either scream, lash out at innocent bystanders, or curl up in a ball and cry for the greater part of the last two weeks.

As far as Peace Corps news, things are moving, but not horribly exciting. All of our medical stuff is nearly done, all we have left to do is for me to take my positive-TB paperwork to my disease-control-specialist doctor, and for us to write our "how we handle stress and not go off the deep-end" statements (the past few weeks have certainly been a testament to that!). Luckily, in the end, everything was normal except the TB (which is being taken care of). So I don't think the Peace Corps has anything to reject us about. I'm assuming that they will make us jump through a few more hoops regarding the medical stuff, but at least its moving and looking fine thus far.
Wish us luck
