What's next

So the official appointment for the braces removal is August 20th, 4 more days! Now, unfortunately, I don't know when I will be making my trip to Michigan. Being without a job I really can't travel. I would like to save my vacation for the payout. If I don't have a new job I guess I will have plenty of time in October, but I would really like to be employed. If I do get a job, I will look into taking time off over Christmas. So that is the latest options, we will just have to wait and see what God has planned...
