I think I'm just a little tired. I'm ready for everything to settle down for a while, to become just boring would be good. Give me some time to appreciate the smells of autumn instead of simply cursing her wild winds.
My residency permit will be harder than we thought. I goofed on the form and went to download another, only to realize my first form was pre-April. On the post-April form, the Home Office has added a TEST to the process AND doubled the price. Of course, the test also costs money as does the study guide. I was furious, then cried like a baby. Though I swore not to, I now think perhaps the smartest thing (barring another huge fee) would be to file for an extension so I can worry about this after our move is complete.
Lynne tripped on the cat this morning and fell hard, so hard she dislodged her coil. Her body then thought it should have contractions to expel the thing. She tried to go to work anyway but ended up in the walk in center with the pain and bleeding. She went through this all by herself because she didn't want to scare me and she thought I probably wouldn't know how to FIND her.
I think of myself as capable too, so I can understand her dealing with this on her own. But Lynne, (Cos I KNOW you read here) I keep an A-Z in my car and if that fails me, will happily ask strangers for directions! I would kidnap a co-worker if I had to. You aren't on your own and I will be there if you need me or want me to be, got it?
Tomorrow's Tuesday. I've booked Friday off for the move to the new house. Except we STILL don't have word it's going to finalize by then. Lovely, hey? I'm staying positive though. I have to... the bed is being delivered there on Friday and the fridge comes Saturday!! LOL... The people moving out will think we're sending presents...
What's positive? Lynne can still walk, the damage wasn't anything related to her recent surgery. The cat isn't a pancake. The livingroom heater works just fine after it's recent repair. I'm absurdly healthy. And my espresso machine works just fine.
I think I just might survive.

Just when you think things are going smoothly the gov't LOVES to throw a stick in the spokes. grrrrrrrrr
Hope the move goes smoothly (beer and wine help ALOT) and Lynne and and the feline get it together on who walks where and when
My apologies for not surfacing recently, I've been remiss in my blog reading.
Lessee... it's 16 days later, so hopefully some things have resolved and do not look so daunting. What does this test consist of, do they give some guidance on this?
And *hugs* to Lynne, hope she feels better, and you betcha on you getting on your horse and riding to the rescue... I know you would do it no other way.
knock knock...anynody home?
OH no! I'm am sorry to hear most of what you wrote, I'm glad you are still able to keep what's good in your thoughts. That's a plus! (((hugs to you 2 and kittie too))
