In my last post, I said that I had to choose between buying a house (which was a completely unrealistic idea, by the way, but it would have been an adventure in every sense of the word, that's for sure) or going back to Haiti to continue working in the clinic. The house thing didn't work out, so that is for the best, but that leaves the Haiti option. When talking with Doc Gordon, he agreed that we needed someone to stay at the clinic for long-term and he would like me to be there. I am ecstatic about it, it is just about my dream job, I think it is a perfect place for me right now in my life. But now another obstacle, the health insurance. Will figure all that out tomorrow, the next business day. I would love to just get this figure out so I know which adventure path to take. If Haiti isn't fated for me, I will be looking for a nursing job here in Portland, or New Mexico, or Alaska, or on the East Coast, maybe. Research is required, of course, before decisions are made. But that is where my adventures have led me.

And now about my Haiti experience, a few thoughts and words: I loved it, it was the hardest thing I have ever done, I learned more in those three months than I think I ever have before, never ever will I forget the clinic, nor will I neglect to continue to be involved. Yep, I think that about covers the main ideas. There's so much more to the clinic than I can verbalize...I am still rediscovering English prose after speaking it very little or very poorly for such a long time. I would be overjoyed if I got to go back, although I don't know how I would make it one year without my friends and family. Three months were hard. I think Skype would be my best, best friend. My lifeline, if you will. But I will cross that bridge when I come to it.

Not much else to write here, I'm getting re-accustomed to the States, mostly staying out of shopping malls, admiring my favorite city and all its quirks, and cleaning up my crap-ola. Who knew that I had so much superfluous stuff? That is a topic for a psychologist, not for my blog, I suspect.
