May 27. I just filled out my Turkmenistan Letter of Invitation form. I had to get a colour copy of my passport and I needed a passport-esque colour photo of me taken within the last 14 days. I made Robynne take it. I won't share, if you want to see my wrinkles and grey hair, you will have to come see me in person!
May 30. Manifesting on NYT mini crossword!
June 12
Buying a few books. I have been reading the History of Central Asia. I got up to Alexander the Great plus a few less interesting kings that followed. Now I am taking a break. But I'll get through it (it's a bit homework-y though)
The birds of Central Asia are not that spectacular but I have to have a bird book. Plus, I got a new phone with a 100x zoom on the camera!! Not great photos for sharing, but great photos for bird IDing!
My backpacks finally arrived.
Pigeon is gone. I am cat-sitting Shiloh until I leave.
A poem:
A cat is going to cat,
not matter the cat.
There was a bag out,
so there she sat.
Update on my Letter of Invitation to Turkmenistan. They don't like my passport photocopy. So I had to learn how to use the scanner at work with a bit more techno-fluency. High resolution scan! I need to resend with the new, sharper image. I'll do that now, while I'm thinking about it. ... Ok, that's done.
I think this is enough. There probably won't be much more until it is time to pack, panic.
