waiting waiting waiting....

G'day all!

We are waiting for the post to arrive. He normally comes between now and midday.

Waiting waiting waiting....

(If the post arrives with visas, I guess we are all GO GO GO! But if it doesn't we have to delay our flights some. V.annoying but we'll have more time to get everything done here.)

anon!

No mail, well nothing good, only another bill :-( No special delivery late this arvo either. Sniffle. There goes my chance to get to Estes Park this year for the fibre festival.... we were "promised" the visas in two days (plus one day for delivery), probably deliver in 2 years....

Not only are we not going to be in the USA this weekend, but I've lost my new mastercard, the one that is replacing my perfectly good visa card. Plus I've lost the pin. Plus I hadn't signed it yet.... Joy all round. I think my head is going to explode from worrying about it. Someone put it in a safe place but can't remember where that is.... And I have three over due library books. That is going to cost us a whole 60 cents!

Oh, for those who think I am handling it well, you are not in my headspace watching me be as inefficient as possible, and you don't get to see the blubbering. I am soooooo disappointed words can't express it.

    I hope those Visa's turn up sooner rather than later!!
    I admire your resilience, I'm sure I wouldn't have it so together in the face of an overseas move!

    Oh dear, waiting like this sucks! Is there any way you can find out about how long the visas are going to take?

    Don't ya just hate all that waiting around to get lots of stuff done that needs to be done? I have moved overseas before, so I'm feeling more of your pain than you know--LOL! Now, I just hope your Visas turn up soon! You'll probably cry because they finally got there! :)

Your monthly blog post

LOL G'day all! Apparently I can no longer blog more than once a month. Mea slacka, I admit. So what's been happening here? I've done a lot of knitting recently.  Ahem I may have bought a fair whack of yarn too.  So much for not spending money. I've been sick as a dog this week.  Gah.  I haven't been really ill with a virus for years - last time I was this sick was six years ago.  Man that was a fun month, DH having lost his job whilst we were getting new visas in Oz for said job, having to pack up and move everything we wanted to keep from the States, sell off the car, get rid of stuff.... all with me coughing my lungs up.  And the lymph node that came up that I thought was from a chest infection actually being breast cancer...  oh joy oh bliss. I even went to urgent care (the walk in, no appointment needed doc in a box that you see when your GP is booked out) cos I felt so crappy.   He confirmed it was probably viral and threw ...

Seattle Six

Image
G'day all! 12 is a big number around here, being all to do with Seattle Seahawks and the 12th man - did you know that American football has 11 players active on the ground at any one time and the twelfth man is the spectators watching the game?  I didn't.  I know about the 12th man in cricket but not this thing that has been adopted here regarding what I usually call gridiron. But I don't want to talk about American football and I don't want to talk about 12, I want to talk about six. Yes, we have now been in Seattle for six years (and a number of days). Six years. Where has the time gone? This is our seventh winter - how have we managed?  Some people love gloom but we are solar powered.  And Seattle tends to be rather gloomy in winter.  I manage by making stuff like crazy, I wear bright colours, and I hang out online on Ravelry.  Without my rav mates, I'd be bored out of my brain.  I'd get a job but I don't have a work permit and that me...

A year and a day

Image
G'day all! This time last year, we were bemused and confused. Our grand trip across Canada had ended and we had just flown in to SJ airport. We have been in California for a year and a day (it's a leap year). 366 days in California. How has it been? All over the shop like a madwoman's you-know-what! You can read more about it on my other blog. I have now lived in three different places in my life. By that I mean I've had an address for mail and stuff, a place where I live rather than stay for a little while. Those places are Melbourne (Oz), Fort Collins (Colo) and Campbell (Calif). In their own ways, each has been special. Fort Collins will be a place I'll always remember, and possibly the memories will be better because we didn't spend a winter there ;-) In honour of this great occasion, I announce a contest! In the comments, tell me two places you have lived (one place if you have always lived there!) and a place where you would love to live (and why yo...
