It's been raining here all night and all day and I know most of you in New England can understand because it's been raining there too... it's actually has cooled off here quite a bit, especially at night! It still feels pretty humid out, and I can verify the humidity because I am still emptying my dehumidifier 3+ times a day at my apartment! Today was a nothing day, it was gloomy and rainy and I didn't really feel like doing much of anything. I did attempt to go for a walk out in town, but after my first stop (100 Yen Store), I was drenched, even with my raincoat and umbrella so I headed back home. I was hoping our belongings would arrive in Japan today, but no word yet... trying to have a little patience, but I'm missing my stuff!
I wasn't going to blog today because I don't have much to talk about, but I have to stay up for a few more hours so I can make the necessary phone calls in the U.S. It's sort of a pain to be 13 hours ahead of EST but even more of a pain when the office doesn't open until 0800 CST and I am 14 hours ahead! I'm just trying to get my nursing license which I have had more problems trying to get because they need official verification from every state I have ever been licensed in and in order to get "official" verification you have to pay lots of money and it's all very frustrating... the BEST part is that when I finally do get this nursing license with my advanced practice status on it, I have to send them another application for a name change! HA... comical! I'll be lucky to have it by Chrismukkah!
I need the updated nursing license for the credentialing department at the hospital here so I can volunteer for the Red Cross... you would think with this entire process I'm going through that I am going to have some Top Secret clearance when all is said and done... I'm thinking that's pretty doubtful... can you imagine... me in my Red Cross Volunteer vest (I'm not making this up) with a top secret clearance!!!
I haven't done much in the past few days that is "blog worthy..." I did get my fingerprints redone so they could start my security clearance and when I brought them into the office they told me it was just a clerical error and the first ones were fine... so glad I waited an hour at security to get that second set of fingerprints done... the guy told me I could keep them... like it was a prize or something... maybe I'll frame them and hang them on the wall so I can always remember how fun this process was!
