Last Full Day in Donetsk

Today's drama:  you ready?  Eli scared the heck out of us after having his blood drawn.  He was very nervous about the procedure and held his breath through the whole thing.  Afterwards, he obviously didn't feel well and needed a doctor to check him out.  After explaining the details to Curt, he suggested it was a vagal response.  (Look it up if you don't know.  I had to.)  Eli was fine a few minutes later, but it was really scary for a little while.  At least we know, and hopefully we can prevent it from happening again.

The boys applied for passports.  Easy peasy.

Our water is out again.  :/

We are leaving for Kiev tomorrow afternoon.  I was all excited to go to "my" grocery store for the last time and say goodbye to Somewhat Friendly Checker this afternoon, but she was not there.  I instead got Very Unfriendly Checker and she scolded me for not putting the correct sticker on the poppy seed rolls.  No poppy seed rolls for you!

Den and Anya will be here soon to take us all out.  They'll show us around town since the Christmas lights are up and Kayla hasn't seen much of Donetsk.  We will see Anya in Kiev, but this will be our last hurrah with Den.  As eager as I am to get home, it will be very hard to say goodbye to him.  I said goodbye to Ben and Angela on the phone today.  Also very difficult, especially since I was hoping to see them again before we left but Ben has been pretty sick.

It's great having Kayla here.  The boys are stuck to her like glue.  :)

I doubt I'll be able to post tomorrow so don't worry if you don't hear from us for a while.
