Court Tomorrow...For Real, This Time

Victor is here with all of our paperwork in hand.  He called the judge this morning, who cheerfully asked if he was all ready for tomorrow.  I think it's really going to happen this time!  Our appointment is at 9:00am Ukraine time.  We are eight hours ahead of Tulsa, so that's 1:00am back home in case you happen to be up and want to say a quick prayer for us.  Victor prepped us, telling us what to expect and how to best answer the standard questions they are likely to ask.  It still seems that there are some pitfalls we could fall into, but hopefully since the judge has a full schedule tomorrow she'll be eager to go through the motions and be done with it.

We need to be ready to go by 7:00am tomorrow, and we have tickets for tonight's hockey game at 7:00pm, so it will probably be a short night.  No matter, I'm not likely to get much sleep anyway.  I've been feeling the physical effects of the stress lately.  I've had migraine symptoms three of the last four days.  I'm guessing that after tomorrow things will clear up and we'll all be in better spirits.  Curt is flying out from Donetsk at 3:50pm tomorrow, and assuming all is cool, Anya, the boys and I will have our little getaway weekend to Lviv.  We'll have lots of not-very-fun stuff to do when we get back, but by then I might even be able to see a light at the end of this very long tunnel.
