The highlight of the week was my doctor\u2019s appointment on Wednesday. He wants to see me again in five weeks, but agreed I can start planning our move to Africa in December – great news. In the meantime, I will continue physical therapy to focus on building strength and walking normally. John took me to Ris for dinner to celebrate!<\/p>\n
It\u2019s so nice that I enjoy so many of the people I work with! I saw several of them this week when they came over to visit. Monday morning, the two new juniors officers going to Monrovia came over to introduce themselves and have coffee – they were both delightful, and I think they will do well.<\/p>\n
My successor, Beth, spent two afternoons with me, going through our handover process. She was also my successor in Islamabad – I see a pattern developing!<\/p>\n
One afternoon, three analysts from the visa office came for happy hour \u00a0– Kaitlin, Mike, and Amanda. We had a great visit – Mike really makes me belly laugh!<\/p>\n
The rest of the week was focused on work and physical therapy. I walked the farthest I have yet, down to Columbia Plaza to get a flu shot. It was gorgeous, cool weather and was great to be outside for a change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
