Link for family and my freaking mouth

Officially going insane now, for anyone keeping track. Logistical nightmare, this Peace Corps. Powers of attorney, new supplies, moisture-absorbent packets, 220-volt converters, luggage requirements, where's all my crap gonna go, gifts for host family, bank accounts, taxes . . . Gah.

Mouth still numb from wisdom teeth surgery, a week ago. Doc says I could have this numb spot (no feeling in left lower lip down to chin) for a couple of MONTHS. Huh? For a couple of pulled teeth? Yes. And the video I had to watch before the surgery warned me, too. In fact, at the bottom of the "Possible Risk Factors" was the bullet, "potentially fatal." If I die before my time, I want it to be covering up a grenade to save my buddies in the trenches or standing in front of a tank in Tiannennimumish Square (uh, SP?), not from getting teeth pulled.

Oh yeah, the link. This is mainly for family members of Peace Corps volunteers.

It's a message board group for y'all. Something to keep filed away for a rainy day.

T minus 10 days until departure.
