Update.

Hotel in Knoxville is booked.

I've started my next menstrual cycle, which means tomorrow I start on estrogen supplements to prepare me for the mock trial.

I'm actually relieved (for once!) that my cycle came when I expected it, because I have (or God had) timed perfectly the dates for this mock trial and the date for when the outside monitoring facility here in Portland has to see me for a follow up on day 14 of my cycle. This is good news, because that will be on Wed, June 9, which -- hoping I'm medically cleared after both these appointments -- NEDC should start the matching process that week or early the following week. We're still probably looking at a September transfer date at the earliest, which I have now found peace with. ; )

A week from now, we'll be in Knoxville!
